I'm beginning to see rumblings about systems with Pentium
4 Prescott and instaling WinXP SP2. Any comments? Is
there a problem?

The motherboard they are using does not support the processor that is
installed in it. There should be no expectations of correct operation. It is
a violation of the processor specifications to run the processor without a
valid microcode update. This is equivalent to running the processor at a
voltage or speed other than what it is speced for. It may sort of work, but
it is not going to be very reliable.
Please remind the users that the machine may be unstable until a new BIOS is
installed and update.sys is put back into place and thus able to load the
most current microcode update. Running with no microcode update leaves the
machine vulnerable to all the errata that would be resolved by the current
microcode update.

Hi Giardap - Well, probably some MVP could tell you which forum to check
out, but then they'd have to shoot you!
