    Hmm, pain in the neck to have to call MS to get it. Any links to direct download?

    I don't have the updated version, only the old version from last year. However, using that, I do notice a bit of performance jump when XP loads up (seeing the icons all pop up at once on desktop...and I have a lot of them). Other then that, still looking for other things... But I would perfer the newer version though. Still looking for a link...

    shouldn't disabling EIST and C1 in the bios eliminate this since those are the power saving features?

    tried the one linked above... didn't do anything.

    Thing bothering me was bootup, takes like 8-9 bars and my A64 rig took as few as 4. (this is after same optimizations)

    Then again, I'm using XP Pro for the A64, and MCE for the C2D.

    The file I direct linked with PW should be the fix for KB896256 that MS sent me. I haven't installed it yet.
    It is the right one. It links back to the multiprocessor hotfix page.

    Re: Own a Dual Core, Perf issues? Need the Hotfix?
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    link above 251321_ENU_i386_zip.exe is the correct one.
