A real quick question..
Should I Let my Bios handle the hardware(i.e. the Plug and Play option in the bios).
Or should let Windows(XP) Handle the hardware?.:D

WXP and W2K will override the bios management with ACPI enabled. so no matter how you have it set, windows will re-arrange your devices after posting.

however i recommend you to set it to "no" (plug n play OS) if you have APIC mode enabled in BIOS.

btw, i really mean APIC, not a typo.
if there is no option for the APIC mode in BIOS, or if you have it disabled then just leave the option the way you prefer.
