What is the difference between ACPI and APM?
Windows 98 supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification.
ACPI places the power management functionality inside of the operating system architecture.
Advanced Power Management (APM) utilized the BIOS for power management.
When using
ACPI-aware software application and hardware devices, ACPI may provide more efficient power
management over APM.
ACPI is also a key element of the Microsoft OnNow initiative, which promises to make computers
more responsive. ACPI may provide more efficient power management, faster program startup and
shutdown times, and quicker computer boot and shutdown to name just a few features of ACPI
technology.
What is Compaq’s “Near-Term” strategy for Power Management?
