I've been able to run both with my VAIO.  However, my VAIO hangs
randomly with ACPI enabled (even when i have apm disable).

Hmmm.  That's good to know.  I didn't know that until now.  I'll have
to reboot my vaio to see how good/bad this information is.

I don't see this with my Inspiron 8000, so I don't care :-).

Seriously, I'm still running stable on my i8000.  I'll be cutting over
