IRQ 9   Intel(R) 82801BA/BAM SMBus Controller - 2443
IRQ 9   Creative SB Live! Value

IRQ 9   SCI IRQ used by ACPI bus
IRQ 10   Intel(R) 82801BA/BAM USB Universal Host Controller - 2442
IRQ 10   ACPI IRQ Holder for PCI IRQ Steering
IRQ 11   NVIDIA GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro

Hiya,
Yeah t'is normal as in : if steering or controllers share with a card, If you get eg : Vidcard and Soundcard sharing an IRQ then ya may get probs
But steering/controllers are generally ok

Have Fun
