OK, I have Win28pro..
when I look into my device manager and and view devices by connection this is what I see:

Ethernet card: irq 7
SBLIVE: irq 7
Radeon 7200/64DDR: irq 7
USB1: irq 7
USB2: irq 7

so is it ok for my computer to be gangbanging IRQ 7 like that?

I though you wanted the video to have its own, aswell as the sound.. whats the deal here?

Oh my Wobble,....get to work. I am surprised you have not had any problems. The SBLive card does not like to share interrupts.
Your poor Radeon is taking a beating with all those devices on one IRQ.
You get all those devices on thier own interrupts and I bet you gain quite a few FPS back.
