Subject: ACPI vs. APM - Which is better for desktop and why?
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2004 13:10:25 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.60.0406171308080.17891@p500> (raw)

I have enabled ACPI on my Dell GX1 (Pentium 3/500MHZ) machine and disabled 
APM, however, what are the benefits of using ACPI over APM?

I am using Kernel 2.6.7

I see ACPI eats up an IRQ and does not share it:
