The ACPI tweak in WinME

[Dark]

Hi, I know many people prefer to use standard pc instead of the ACPI provided by win2k to avoid having irqs shared. How can u do that in winME? I know how to do it in Win2k but it's not the same in winME...
thx

WinME does not have the ACPI functionality that Win2k does. Win2k provides an entire hardware abstraction layer between the OS and the IRQs for cards. They are completely different OSs and WinME doesn't have the slowdown or the benefits from this.

If you do have hardware sharing IRQs in WinME then you have to either assign cards different IRQs through the BIOS or Windows, or you have to move them to different slots so they get assigned different numbered IRQs.
