Ron, my dual mobo (asus a7m266-d) (amd-762 chipset)
 also uses this IRQ system.  As
discussed before I thought I had tamed latency problems, but
indeed I have not.   When I run this command while 'jackd -R' is
running (and a client is connected) I get massive overruns on
the order of 1-2 *seconds* every 5 seconds or so:

  dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/for/bigfile bs=1000 count=1000000
                                                                                                                 
This will write a one gig file as fast as possible.  My IDE
drives are tuned properly with hdparm and I'm using SMP 
2.4.20 + LL + preemp + radeonDRM.  Also tried with 2.4.18 + LL.

$ cat /proc/interrupts

(my AGP radeon7500 is on IRQ 16.. not shown above for some 
reason).
Although my BIOS allows me to specify IRQs for slots, the numbers 
there match the traditional style... not this >16 stuff.  I tried 
anyway, but no change in linux.

I just tried this test on another system, this one UP 2.4.20 + 
LL, similar results.  Anyone else care to try this informal 
disk-loading test?   If you have >= 1G of memory, use a 
count=2000000 (2GB file).
