Semicon, The microcode update did not make any difference for Tom, and apparently was present for Kyle. The reason that timing loops in Windows were able to make the OS fail, was because system software directly accesses the hardware. User code does not have this ability, so different all different frequencies should be equally as robust at running a particular piece of software. They used to make DOS games which were not playable at higher frequencies because the game ran too fast, but this didn't cause them to crash. Scumbria
