John, as I recall, that erratum was to do with multiprocessor systems only and has a fix. Looks like the AMDroid who initially brought that story into SI is getting his wish, as the FUD is getting propagated. Turnabout is fair play, they say, so bring on the ATHOL-ON bugs! Tony

John - Re: ": I just bought a Celeron 466 HP pavillion. Does that have the screwed up bios? Does it have the 810 chip set? How would I go about finding out? " Easiest way is to open up the case and take a look inside. Look for the chip set "chips" which should be soldered directly to the motherboard. For "standard" chip sets, look for markings such as 440EX or 440LX or 440ZX - or even 443BX (usually called the 440BX). Another way is to look at your video drivers under your SYSTEM settings in your control panel. A non-Intel driver may indicate a conventional display chip and, hence, a non-810 chip set. Paul
