So i've got laptop

1Dell Latitude D800
2Screen: 15,9 - 1680x1050
3CPU: Intel Pentium M Processor 1.60 GHz
4GPU: NVIDIA GeForce4 4200 Go (Forceware 67.42)
5-- OpenGL version maximum version 1.5
6-- DirectX version maximum version 8.1
7RAM: 1Gb DDR-SDRAM (PC2700)
8Chipset: Intel i855PM + 82801DB (ICH4-M)
9Audio: SigmaTel AC97 (AC9750/51)
10HDD: Hitachi HTS541680J9AT00
11DVD: HL-DT-ST DVD+RW GCA-4040N
12PCMCIA: Texas Instrument PCI7510 CardBus Controller

And Requiem plays with horrible sound artifacts. Only disabling sound acceleration in control panel solves the issue. Is that normal? What could be a reason for it? And can i use my pc with always disabled sound acceleration? What would it mean? Worse sound? More CPU load?

If you just have a AC97 audio, there shouldn't be any sound acceleration at all as far as I know... That's only for chipsets that supports mixing the audio in hardware like the Aureal Vortex and SB Live! and so on.
