Depends on the motherboard bios and the hardware involved. Generally if the hardware is unknown then Non-ACPI is best. That's the experience that I have had anyway. Less problems encountered.
 
PNP OS has no effect on windows NT/2000/XP.

Man, never tried to set it to StandardPC (at bootup I assume, I forgot what's the F key to get there). Do you have probs in ACPI?

If you search the Microsoft Knowledge Base on "PnP OS" in the BIOS under Windows 2000 you'll find a result telling you basically:
 
"MS Recommends PnP OS is set to 'No' for Windows 2000 installations"
 
I can only assume that as Win2k & WinXP share so much of the code/base that the same would be true under both OS's.
