If your system works well with this IRQ setting (eg. no hardware conflict shows up in the device manager), don't try to change it - don't mess with IRQs unless you have to.
Windows has a builtin function for IRQ sharing so it can handle this situation without any problem. I've had 4 devices sharing the same IRQ without any problem.
If you're interested I wrote a little piece here that explains the basics principles on IRQs: http://discussions.virtualdr.com/For...ML/004436.html

You can try moving your cards into different slots, some of them have their own IRQ.
