| 13276 | 2001-05-27 21:45:00 | Ok windows is sharing all my pci agp hardware on I think irq 11 and really slows down my video card. I thought disabling acpi will let the bios take over the irq stuff. Also in win 98 I' ve noticed that my video card was sharing with i thinkk it was aspi for irq sharing or something like that. I know that it doesn't make that much difference but I have a spare irq and if I could rather have my video on its own. For some reason my geforce 2 mx won't allow me to change automatic settings. My video runs on a bx133 raid. Any suggestions? | Guest (0) | ||

I have seen stability issues corrected by this, but never a speed improvement. ACPI is too good to sacrifice for the sake of moving your devices around. You can use the PNP configuration in the BIOS to manually place devices in particular locations. If you really must remove ACPI it can be performed by loading the local computer management MMC going into device manager, expanding computer entry, viewing properties on the ACPI PC entry, driver tab, update driver, select manual driver, select 'Standard PC'. Be warned I've had things go kaput messing with this so don't cry if it kills your machine. Have fun benchmarking :) |
