I've not noticed any difference with ACPI on or off. I just leave it on so I have access to the features it provides. Make sure hw.acpi.cpu.cx_lowest is set to C1. In the area of APIC I remember finding some devices on my system not properly detecting with out it, on my Nforce2 board. No clue about that chipset. I've never any speed differences though. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
