Thanks Maciej
I was wondering about those, I had seen the work around code and would not
have thought it need apply to recent athlon chipsets?


For comparison here is my proc/interrupts 
CPU0
  0:   50462204    IO-APIC-edge  timer
  1:      49153    IO-APIC-edge  keyboard

  9:          0   IO-APIC-level  acpi

 14:     995872    IO-APIC-edge  ide0
 15:        283    IO-APIC-edge  ide1
 16:    3921102   IO-APIC-level  nvidia

 21:     146903   IO-APIC-level  ehci_hcd, NVIDIA nForce Audio
 22:          0   IO-APIC-level  usb-ohci
NMI:          0
LOC:   50457798

MIS:          0

Albatron KM18G-Pro, nforce2, pheonix bios, 2200XP, 255fsb, ddr400,
ide0 is hard drive, ide1 is cdrom, nmi watchdog off

Report seems OK but this machine locks up hard without the apic delay patch.

I am currently trying the simpler v1 (always add a delay) patch but on all apic
acks as per this posting

http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2003-12/3291.html

which is a reply to an earlier posting of the same name but I accidently 
omitted the Re in the subject.

Regards,
Ross.
