i just installed the xfi-xtrememusic and the drivers and it is sharing the same irq as my 7800 gtx graphics card on IRQ 18. What should i do? I heard that they should not be on the same IRQ

The x-fi sits in the bottom most pci slot, which i was told has its own irq channel
 
If your not actually having a problem then I would say,
who cares if there one the same irq."Unless there is a known issue".

You could also move the sound card to a different pci slot.

i just tried 2 rounds of bf2 and the sound was amazing. But does sharing the irq mean less performance?
 
Unless you are using REALLY old hardware or certain bus mastering cards sharing the IRQ is not a big deal - don't worry about it unless you have problems.

If it's driving you crazy try moving the X-Fi to a different PCI slot.
