"ACPI 2.0 adds the support for 64-bit processor addressing to extend the benefits of ACPI to Intel's IA-64 server architecture. The ACPI 2.0 specification also adds the concept of multiple processors and device performance states to enable longer battery life and lower operating temperatures on the platform, such as those currently supported by Intel's mobile Pentiumr III processor featuring Intelr SpeedStep(TM) technology.
Enhancements targeted at the server market include support for hot-pluggable CPUs, memory, and PCI, PCI-X devices. The ACPI 2.0 was designed so that the ACPI 1.0 compliant portions of silicon would be compatible with ACPI 2.0."
