Well, my temp is about 6-9°C hotter in idle mode, but with current kernels APIC (and no CPU diconnect) seems to be more stable than PIC and CPU Disconnect with my nforce. I at least don't have problems with forcedeth driver and current acpi. >>By the way, is anyone involved in solving the IO-APIC thing in nforce >>motherboards? Anyone trying a different approach?

I remember Jesse Allan sending some lspci outputs to Bart to investigate the BIOS fix. I wonder what has happened to it. I tried to do a comparison with my values, but due to lack of some smart tools to show what is common and what is not (diff is not very suitable) it is very hard, esp if you have no knowledge about the actual meanings of those parameters.
