Hi Gerard,
I've heard this on a lot of 3d forums, however I believe it is just FUD (fear uncertainty doubt). I have seen stability issues corrected by this, but never a speed improvement. ACPI is too good to sacrifice for the sake of moving your devices around. You can use the PNP configuration in the BIOS to manually place devices in particular locations.
If you really must remove ACPI it can be performed by loading the local computer management MMC going into device manager, expanding computer entry, viewing properties on the ACPI PC entry, driver tab, update driver, select manual driver, select 'Standard PC'.
Be warned I've had things go kaput messing with this so don't cry if it kills your machine.
Have fun benchmarking :)
