Re: "Microcode has nothing to do with the BIOS. It is the internal control of the execution units of the CPU. Intel uses programmable microcode to fix bugs and speedpaths" Isn't the microcode patch loaded by the BIOS? EP

SCUMbria - Re: "Microcode has nothing to do with the BIOS. It is the internal control of the execution units of the CPU. Intel uses programmable microcode to fix bugs and speedpaths." Are you really this full of CRAP? Did you read Tom's article at ALL ?? Ubershmuckermeister claimed that a NEW BIOS was required to REPROGRAM the Microcode on the Pentium III on boot-up!!! Now - you either BELIEVE HIM and the Microcode and the BIOS are interrelated or you DON'T BELIEVE HIM and you accept the fact that maybe HE IS FULL OF CRAP!! So, SCUMbria - which one of you two is REALLY FULL OF CRAP ? Paul
