The first reply responds dismissively, suggesting the original poster should search Google for answers rather than asking on the forum. Overall, the discussion centers on understanding hardware features, but no detailed explanation is provided in the thread.

When reading some config recommendations always two different hardware features are mentioned:

AHCI and ACPI

What is the difference?
Both seem to be power-saving-related.

Is one for hard disks and the other for CPU only?

Is one in BIOS-only configurable the other from WinOS configurable?
