"Intel has released a BIOS patch for Windows machines running Core 2 and Xeon 3000/5000 chips that addresses potential unpredictable system behavior." After reading the whole article, it sounds like Intel is attempting to address some of the many bugs the chips have. In their wisdom, it sounds like they are making it difficult to get these updates if you *don't* run wind0ze. I like this quote: "I'll put it to you this way," [Intel spokesman] Knupffer said. "I've got a core chip at home and I haven't updated." That doesn't say much. If it's a non-networked machine, who really needs *any* patches...
