Given this, is it worth any effort for me to attempt to get the APIC alive and
responding?
Ie, will I notice any improvement in speed or stability.
Also, I am noticing several "issues" which appear to be interrupt-related in the
2.3 series; such as fbcon updates causing sound to skip; and a whole batch of
Network Card troubles; Would APIC help or hinder with these "issues" ?
