Update for Intel Core CPUs

Apparently someone fucked up somewhere.

A microcode reliability update is available that improves the reliability of systems that use Intel processors

Sounds kinda handy.

I'm sure a copy of it could fall on to the floor if I weren't being careful (although there are a bunch of different versions of it).

I had borkage issues with this - namely an unbootable BSOD loop.

However, I don't know if it was this update, or the new creative sound drivers I also installed. I rolled them back and now cba to install either and work out which fucked up.

99.9999999999999999999999999999999% of the time. absolutely nothing.

Basically, there's a fuckup that happens *very* rarely, under some certain synthetic benchmarks and such, which is very unlikely to happen under real world conditions.

In short. don't worry.
