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

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

I mess with it and yes, you have to reinstall it.

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 :)

    • Hello, I have used a few TEAM Group SSDs, USB flash drives, and Micro SDXC cards in the past. They all seemed to work fine. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • "just $100 per TB"? Just? Are we trying to make this seem like the new normal? Kinda weird to make it sound like that is not a ridiculously expensive asking price.
    • The reviews you refer to mean nothing. Where there is no journalism there is no reason to call the gaming media's opinion pieces "reviews". For GP games there is indeed a metric for success - increasing subscriptions. Which turns in revenue. The only circumstance in which subs do not rise when great is being released is a Game Pass system where the company is close to fully saturated with customers in a subscription. However, in that case as the theory goes you spend aplenty in all kind of games - from shady live service cash cows and customer offending agitprop crap in purple colours to robust and entertaining single player games. And keep a solid level of profitability. Ignoring the simply innocuous but mid games MGS has released primarily of the second kind.
    • Report: Microsoft to use AWS to help GitHub deal with a major surge in demand by Pradeep Viswanathan Thanks to the surge of coding AI agents, GitHub's usage has skyrocketed over the past 12 months. To meet this demand, GitHub started with a plan in October 2025 to increase capacity by 10x. However, by early this year, the company realized that it needed 30x scale. This rapid growth has caused severe strain on the platform's reliability, resulting in several small outages over the past few months. In April, GitHub published a long blog post explaining the steps it is taking to resolve these reliability issues. In the post, the company also confirmed that it is working toward a multi-cloud architecture for better resilience. Today, Business Insider reported that GitHub is turning to Amazon Web Services to help deal with a major surge in AI-driven coding activity. It is important to note that GitHub is still in the process of moving completely to the Azure cloud. The current plan is to move the platform fully to Azure by 2027 so that it can scale better as per developer demand. Therefore, the current decision to utilize AWS might be part of a short-term plan to meet immediate demand. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed that GitHub is using multiple cloud providers with the following statement: For Microsoft, the decision highlights the operational pressure behind the AI boom. GitHub has to stay reliable for developers at a time when rivals such as Codex, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI coding tools are gaining attention. And the decision to use AWS for computing capacity seems practical given the circumstances.
