[Parameter] APIC Mode [Setting] Disabled [Comments] 
Setting to Enabled can cause instabilities. Once the operating system is installed, such as Windows XP in my case, this setting cannot be changed without reinstalling the operating system, regardless of whether the initial setting is Disabled or Enabled. The purpose of setting it to Enabled is to extend the number of IRQ's, which sounds like a real risky proposition. I'm not surprised to see the conclusion reached at APIC: Benefit or Trouble. The number of IRQ's should be fine without being extended, anyway.
