Does anyone know whether IRQ conflicts still happen with PCI devices? I know it was pretty common in the days of the ISA slots. A friend of mine has a modem and a sound card (both pci) that do not want to work together. When one or the other is installed it works fine, but when both are in the sound works but not the modem. He is running windows 98SE. Device manager shows both devices are working properly.

From what I understand PCI slots share IRQs. On many motherboards there is one slot that is not shared. Check the manual for the motherboard, they will sometimes make recomendations as to what slot to use for different cards. If you don't have a manual just try moving the cards around and you may find a combination that will work.
