Yeah, I'm aware of the noapic thing. My board works _better_ than with
apic on. :) Using noapic there are noticable clicks and such while
playing mp3s. This is with no other programs running and not much cpu
usage. I think it's probably soundcard/noapic related. USB-wise, though,
when transferring a lot of stuff with my visor like restoring I get
failures. I don't know for sure that this is noapic related but it's the
only thing I can think of.
Thanks,
Jeff
