I had to google APIC because I didn't know what is was. Is it possible
that my laptop doesn't have APIC because it's dual core and not dual
processor? One site I googled suggested to look at the output
of /proc/interrupts. Here's my output:
phil@falcon:~$ cat /proc/interrupts

Does this mean that my board has APIC? Should I still try noapic?
