No, LEAVE acpi disabled.

The BX board will run the PCI and AGP at spec at 66 and 100. Any other FSB and they will be out of spec. The Via board will run the PCI and AGP at spec at 66, 100, and 133, any other settings and they are out of spec. You only need be concerned about the video card and any devices that use PCI, including the hard drive controllers.

AGP spec is 66 and PCI spec is 33. When I say "off spec" it could be high OR low.

If you are bound and determined to overclock your machines, as long as the processors you have can hack it, your *best* bus speeds on those boards are as follows - the Via at 133 and the BX at 100. *Nothing* except the processors themselves will be off spec at those settings.
