hmm, yeah, i had to agree... as i said above, the different in terms of performance is very little if not none in real life usage..so it better be enable for overall system compatibility...im not saying that it's not important ^^ but it can also be disabled if users want it to, but not recommended that is unless ure a power user and knows what ure doing...
so overall i do agree to let it enabled since the difference is not quite noticeable in real time usage..
