Asrock is Asus now though aren't they? I think msi is the only major brand I've never used for a motherboard before. I've had various problems with everybody else at one point or the other.

HalloKitty posted:No, ASRock started off as a division of ASUS some time ago, then became their own entity. Hm, am I thinking of Abit that Asus bought? And then killed off.

I have one Intel board that is affected but its end-of-life, not sure if Intel will ever give me an update.

Would we all be using some iteration of Itanium if not for amd64?

Oh hey Intel actually posted an updated firmware yesterday for my Q77 board with the ME exploit.  But the link just goes to a 404.

KKKLIP ART posted:Yeah I was hoping for more of a drop in replacement because I can’t totally justify a new system. I think I can hold off because it’s more of a ‘it would be fun’ and by an I need type of deal. If you just want to mess around then there's really no need for more cores. Really the problem you're more likely to run into is not enough memory.
