as an FYI, windows hasn't used the BIOSes PNP stuff for years, not since w98. NT, 2k, XP, etc won't look at it. They ignore it. So, in essence its irrelevant. :)
Same for IRQ's, unless its an ISA card. If so, then yes windows will look at it, determine if it HAS to obey the BIOS (i.e., you force the IRQ via Bios), and if not will issue its own IRQ for the device. *Shrugs* And ppl wonder why we hate M$.
