1) I know of no patch that is required for Pentium 4. 2) A patch SHOULD NEVER harm system stability. If it does, that is the fault of whoever released the patch in the first place. 3) Athlon also requires software patches for maximum performance. Even AMD's web site includes SYSMark 2001 results with an optimized Windows Media Encoder. (Don't try to spin this one, Dan. A patch is a patch, even if the changes are trivial.) 4) My own home-built Pentium 4 system is far from "fussy." In fact, it is rock-solid stable. Have you even used a Pentium 4 in your life? Tenchusatsu, stop trying to confuse Dan with facts and logic... those hurt him... ;)
