The article seems to focus on APIC being multiprocessor machines, but in fact many older AMD/Intel machines have an option in BIOS that allows PIC/APIC selection.

The original quick conversion was a bit of a mess. This is my 1st whack at cleaning it up a bit. I think it looks much better now. ;) I can't find JHawthorn's instructions on how to fix the Forum links in the See Also section -- sorry. Bewing 01:56, 19 March 2007 (CDT)

Thanks for that link -- OK, I fixed those See Also links. Bewing 21:49, 5 April 2007 (CDT)

APIC in uniprocessor x86 machines...

The article seems to focus on APIC being multiprocessor machines, but in fact many older AMD/Intel machines have an option in BIOS that allows PIC/APIC selection. - Brynet-Inc (Please sign your posts)

The idea is, you can simply forget about the APIC when dealing with uniprocessor machines, even though some of its features are very useful to the developer. Most of the useful contents is completely independent of a multiprocessor machine anyway. - Combuster 15:32, 8 July 2007 (CDT)
