If it is an AMD of family 0x0f, then no it does nor support updates. I was confused for a while by the fact 0x15 does support it, but while 15 = 0x0f, 0x15 is of course not the same thing. So from what I determined when looking at it, the early 64bit AMD CPUs do not support microcode updates. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
