1 Valid question.

3 What you can do is:
4
5 a) Swap order of cards on the PCI slots (ie. move them around)
6
7 or, if a) is not an option due to some weird arrangement of 32bit pci and
8 64bit pci
9
10 b) Try to play arround with reserving IRQs in the bios.
11
12 Both a) and b) might fail depending on how is linux scaning the PCI bus :)
13
14 I don't know of any utility that would allow you to swap them around; its
15 more of a kernel thing ;)
