The board should be ok without acpi, XP will just adapt to it, meaning you may have to load up some of your drivers again when you reboot, but it won't put 4 and 5 things on the same IRQ, and use it's voltage regulating on your cards, which can be a nightmare for some setups. My machine was rebooting randomly on me until I did this, I guess the acpi was tweaking the voltage to my gina card and my board wasn't liking it very much.
All you need to do is go to hardware devices, click on the ACPI feature and bring that up, then click update driver and it should prompt you for a list of compatible devices, you should see "Standard Computer" under the list, this is what you want to choose. I would try to install xp first see how things run, it might be fine. if you have problems try this, but you will have to reinstall a few drivers for some of your cards. good luck ; ) Vince ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nick Lankester" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Drum & Bass Arena Discussion List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2002 10:08 AM Subject: [dnb-prod] Re: Moving to XP > Sounds like good advice..
