APIC Mode
Setting to Enabled can cause instabilities. Once the operating system is installed, such
as Windows XP in my case, this setting cannot be changed without reinstalling the
operating system, regardless of whether the initial setting is Disabled or Enabled. The
purpose of setting it to Enabled is to extend the number of IRQ's, which sounds like a
real risky proposition. I'm not surprised to see the conclusion reached at APIC:
Benefit or Trouble. The number of IRQ's should be fine without being extended,
anyway.
The choice: Enabled, Disabled.
