device management?   what's device management?  are we talking about
windows or linux?

there appears to be no evidence that the kernel is mis-managing the
devices.  at least, none that i can see.  maybe this is a windows (or
suse) thing?  i dunno.  it's just hard to believe the linux would
misregister hardware.  especially hardware plugged into completely
different ports.

wierd.  did you know that there were bad problems of people selling over
rated celeron chips?   apic errors are very rare.  except when a CPU is
run at a speed faster than its rating.

i forget the details, but there are websites out there that can tell you
if you have a mislabelled celeron.  even fox news ran a story on this
about 3 years ago.
