It's old ones that suck the most. That doesn't answer the question.
I don't know of any motherboard/chipset it does work on. I'd pay a bit to have the problem go away. For my servers I don't need either ACPI nor APIC nor APM for that matter, I turn them on and leave them on. They don't have any USB devices, in fact all they have is a video card and a nic. But there are two machines I would love to have. A workstation with a really fast hard disk and a multimedia box that makes a Tivo look like a chimp. Jim Tarvid
