"The APIC is the Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (a more
sophisticated mechanism for handling interrupts), not the clock."

No version of Linux that I have tried with "Live" disks supports APIC. Linux
is a generation behind the current state of technology.

CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC:
│
│
│
│ A local APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) is an
│
│ integrated interrupt controller in the CPU. If you have a single-CPU
│
│ system which has a processor with a local APIC, you can say Y here to
│
│ enable and use it. If you say Y here even though your machine doesn't
│
│ have a local APIC, then the kernel will still run with no slowdown at
│
│ all. The local APIC supports CPU-generated self-interrupts (timer,
│
│ performance counters), and the NMI watchdog which detects hard
│
│ lockups.
│
│
│
│ Symbol: X86_UP_APIC [=y]
│
│ Prompt: Local APIC support on uniprocessors
│
│   Defined at arch/i386/Kconfig:264
│
│   Depends on: !SMP && !X86_VISWS && !X86_VOYAGER

this was taken from the help description of kernel compilation of kernel
2.6.18 (an old version)

live-cds are not fully funtional OSs, so it is natural that doesnt use this
featura, but installed OSs use it.

Linux had made the current tecnology XXXXXXX.
Give me a Windows Live-Cd for me to try windows without installing it...
