**WARNING!!!***

Anyone that has installed this beta patch, DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT upgrade or touch your video BIOS at ALL!

video BIOS?

does anyone even mess with that?

And would I have to reinstall this patch if I did a clean install of XP?

That doesn't make any sense at all! What a windows patch has to do with a video card bios which is when upgraded the upgrade is done outside windows anyway?

Please ignore this post, the patch is great, and update your video bios exactly after please :) I fixed an annoying TV-OUT problem on my 6600GT by a bios upgrade.

Anyone got the latest version? Do I need to apply the registry edit or not and will this work on a Intel Pentium D Dual Core CPU?

Yer i wanna know the registry too, last time i installed this caused my pc to lock up completley and just break down completley with the registry edit.

I installed it and it seems to have worked. Programs seem to open slightly faster and the load is now spread evenly across both cores. :) The lag I had when browsing folders, files in my computer is literally gone. My computer just seems more responsive.

Is the registry edit still required?

Also, I can't find the hotfix in add/remove programs, how do I uninstall it in future?

Um.....my ntoskrnl is 5.1.2600.2845 (xpsp.060210-1526)

The one in this patch is 5.1.2600.2765 (xpsp.050928-1517)

using this patch does nothing and does not replace it.

Is the later version on my ntoskrnl supplied with this patch already?

Well are we seeing builds with a better compiler now?

I installed this on a single core opteron 144 and things are certainly more responsive, seems like the code runs better (like itunes and other modern exes...). Which is great cause speedy is nicer to use

I don't know if that'll translate into a measurable fps increase or anything like that, but hey, it boots differently :)
