Should I disable ACPI in MSI K8n Neo2?

I'm changing from a nforce2 based mobo to a msi k8n neo2, in nforce2 is better to leave ACPI off, having only 16 IRQ's (less pops and clicks, sound card in one IRQ), but how about for nforce3? Does it makes any difference?

I searched the MSI k8N thread for ACPI but found nothing.

Thanks.

    I had an nForce2 that worked great in ACPI. It's pretty much a non-issue these days... basically, keep ACPI unless there is no way to get your IRQ map to work right. But there are plenty of options before you get there.

    NForce2 works great with ACPI on, but I can get lower latencies when it's off, that's what I meant. ;)
