with ACPI on, it should all share the same IRQ(more or less)
This has been pretty standard since 2k came out, and it has worked flawlessly for myself and everyone I know.
how is the GF2 being hurt by this?

You shouldn't have disabled ACPI if you weren't having problems. ACPI specs make PCI cards share IRQ's it is part of the PCI 2.1 or 2.2 spec. Did your framerates drop after ACPI was disabled or before? Because you said you noticed that all your IRQs were being shared [not a problem] but then you disabled ACPI, shouldn't have because PCI cards share IRQs. So to get ACPI back you need to reinstall a clean copy of Windows 2000.
If you do re-install win2k, dont install the service pack at first. I really don't know if it has anything to do with it, but after reading through these posts, it seems that a number of people (including myself) have had all different, almost random problems upon installing SP2. Just a suggestion.
With Win2k, if it runs fine and stable, I'll say this: LEAVE IT ALONE!!!
I fooled with the IRQ's once and ended up having to reinstall everything. You'll have to play around with settings, but there's no reason to fool with the IRQ's. Not been worth it.
