BikinDutchman Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 It described what hardware abstraction layer (HAL) you will use.See for instance here.During installation windows figures out to most comprehensive HAL; that depends on:-single or multiple processor,-APCI or not (power management),-APIC or PIC (interrupt reassignment).That gives 8 combinations of which 2 are ruled out.You only change the HAL from the default if you experience problems with power management or interrupt assignment.If you do not understand what APCI or APIC means search for it first before you touch the HAL.
