My Asus A8N-VM CSM is too old to support this. This is not hardware limitation 
but bios acpi problem. Asus refused to add hpet entry to acpi table and 
reserved this feature for later boards. What a pity Linux needs hpet entry in 
acpi table to use hpet - otherwise I could have it.

lspci -v tells me that many devices have 64bit+ caps (all are integrated in 
Nvidia C51 and MCP51 chipset). I do not remember that I turned it on because 
I usually keep away from experimental when I do not have to. Probably 
something other autoenabled it as requirement.

I do not have any laptop. Just two ATX desktops.

Thanks for comments. When I replace Asus junk mobo with real hardware I will 
remember to enable hpet and upgrade CPU to dual/quad core too. :-)
Only wait for apps using sse4/5.
