I do not worry about it though. Once you get the machine running and can log into windows goto mycomputer and right click choose properties and go to the hardware tab. Choose device manager and right click computer and choose properties. Change the type from acpi to standard pc then reboot the machine. You should see a marked improvement in performance. Has something to do with an acpi interrupt that windows xp uses and cause much traffic in the kernel. Hope this helps some. -- John Registered Linux User 263680, get counted at http://counter.li.org
