mobo:asus cusl2-c and slot-2.
Anyway i'm happy now (since yesterday) because i think it all now works the way i want. I'm on IRQ 9. You?

I have 2 card, so pci1+pci5 is the best way for me... both are on same irq. For your needs, the pci2 is also the best one, it is the only one NOT sharing with anything else. And yes, IRQ9 is, according to the cusl2-c manual, the irq with the highest priority.

IRQ 9 is not a good irq to use unless you disable all power management in bios. I can't remember anywhere in the cusl2-c where you can set acpi to disabled. The previous board i used, a bx board, had the option to disable ACPI in bios. Anyway, in the PCI section of the cusl2 bios you can specify an irq for each pci slot manually. I have pulsar cards in slot 2,3,4 and have specified irq 10 for slot2,3,4. I disabled the parallel port and specified irq 7 for the network card in slot 6 and irq 5 for slot 5 which has a standard sound card. All it does actually is provide power to a midi keyboard.

The network card is there to interface with the server pc. ie this pc is not used for anything other than audio work.

This setup has not caused any grief for me.

microsoft will not certify motherboards that you can disable acpi on. so it is not visible in most bios any more.

Well guys, it seems i irq does the job and does it well....however it's intresting as bassdude mentions about the acpi / powermanagement and irq 9...SO irq 10 is better ?
