Don't worry about it 2k shares IRQs and does all the IRQ handling by ACPI. If you don't want shared IRQs change from ACPI enabled PC to Standard PC this will fix it but you will lost all ACPI features.
I had major issues that required a reinstall when I messed with ACPI. If everything runs fine, LEAVE IT ALONE!! It is more trouble in the end, at least in my experience it is. Ive screwed up my system everytime Ive messed with ACPI.
Win2k ignores the BIOS IRQ settings, so you can change them all you want to no effect whatsoever.
