I did move it back to slot 1, and now it's sharing IRQ 16 with the TI
OHCI 1394 Host Controller, whatever that is.

If nobody has yet suggested it, I would suggest that you *disable* in the
BIOS all onboard peripherials that you aren't using. IOW, if you aren't
using any serial port devices, then disable both serail ports in the
BIOS. If you aren't using the parallel port for a printer, then disable
it. You can usually free up a ton of resources by turning off the built
in stuff on your motherboard that isn't being used. Plug-n-play will see
all the resources and re-assign everything differently, and will
frequently, un-cork a problem.

Yeah, I do that with every new computer. For instance, RAID is disabled. And
until I got an IDE burner, IDE was disabled (only SATA was on). I also have
our company's network admin look over my bios to turn off everything that's
unnecessary (he even turned off Plug n Play).

Not that turning it on helped when I tried it.
