It would supprise the hell out of me if this were an actual fix.. I am
guessing that they are just populating and locking the cache...

I think it rather rude as hell for intel to work privatly with one
vendor.. Whats this? Free software isn't allowed to work? Like hell it
isn't.

At least it's not Microsoft (They prob. didn't care about the bug
anyways).

I dont know about anyone else here, but losing my internal cache is not at
all in option, the performance is absolutly positivly not an option.
