Elmer, <Microcode patch is no big deal!>
For those of you with short memory, I repost:

"Intel 440LX PCIset Microcode Update v.s. System Performance"
aow3.aopen.com.tw

BenchMark AX6L AX6L
(no microcode) (w/microcode)
Business Winstone97 55 54.3
Winbench97 CPUMark16 538 526
Winbench97 CPUMark32 728 696

Unfortunately, due to some reasons (really?)
the corresponding page in English (on USA
mirror site) has been recently withdrawn,
but the table is still there.

Conclusion (for technically challenged Intelafons):
Microcode patches reduce system performance.
Is that clear enough for you?
