Fuchi, take a look at this: XEON FLAW
infoworld.com
"The problem appears to be in the circuitry that checks Level 2
cache memory to make sure all the CPUs in a multiprocessor system
are using the same data, Brookwood said. This cache coherency
circuitry is partly in the core logic and partly in the CPU."
"To sidestep the problem will require an update to the microcode
in the CPU"

One more microcode to patch? How many more?
Looks like Intel is trying to push half-baked products
in desperation... Running out of steam? He-he-he:)
