Agree with what you said. 
   On this broken box the 32X/64X GPE0 block address mismatches.
   >ACPI Error (tbfadt-0663): 32/64X address mismatch in Gpe0Block:
0000F820/000000000001F028, using 64X
   But from the dmesg it seems that ACPI_PM_Base address is 0xF800 and
GPE0 block address should be 0xF820.

   On this box there should exist two FADT tables. One is obtained from
RSDT table(Maybe the correct address is defined in this FADT table) and
another is obtained from XSDT table. 
   On Linux the XSDT table is the default when both tables exist.
   Maybe on windows XP the RSDT table is the default.
