Enabling write-combining 1763 allows bus write transfers to be combined into a larger transfer 1764 before bursting over the PCI/AGP bus.

Many "green" 2504 desktop machines also don't have compliant BIOSes, and this driver 2505 may cause those machines to panic during the boot phase. 2506 2507 Generally, if you don't have a battery in your machine, there isn't 2508 much point in using this driver and you should say N.

From page 36 of the APM BIOS 2548 specification: "When disabled, the APM BIOS does not automatically 2549 power manage devices, enter the Standby State, enter the Suspend 2550 State, or take power saving steps in response to CPU Idle calls." 2551 This driver will make CPU Idle calls when Linux is idle (unless this 2552 feature is turned off -- see "Do CPU IDLE calls", below). This 2553 should always save battery power, but more complicated APM features 2554 will be dependent on your BIOS implementation. You may need to turn 2555 this option off if your computer hangs at boot time when using APM 2556 support, or if it beeps continuously instead of suspending. Turn 2557 this off if you have a NEC UltraLite Versa 33/C or a Toshiba 2558 T400CDT.

These idle calls 2568 are made after the idle loop has run for some length of time (e.g., 2569 333 mS). On some machines, this will cause a hang at boot time or 2570 whenever the CPU becomes idle.
