Need info on update 936357

Hello:

I was reading about this update. It states that the effected processors are
for Core 2 and Xeon processors.

So why is it offered as a critical update to any computer with any Intel
processor.

I run a P4 Prescot. I was reading another post about a person with something
other that a Core 2 or Xeon processor having issues after the update was
installed.

So what might I expect to happen if I install this with my P4 Prescott? I
would consider passing on the update since I do not have a listed processor
but I am also annoyed that if I do that I will be notified each time I go to
windows updates that I have hidden updates that should be installed.

Please any info on this would be great. Would be nice to here from people
that have installed this with a P4 Prescott with no issues also.

Thanks

My personal opinion - Don't install it, Vince. There is too little
documentation in the KB article for my liking and it's not installed on
any of my Intel boxes.
When\if there is satisfactory documentation as to just WHY this update
is offered for Intel processors NOT listed in the KB, then I'll
reconsider installing it.

Hi Mow
I agree 100% - I put it in the Hidden Folder in WU Home.
I could not see why I needed it either.
Thanks for the confirmation. Just what I have been waiting for.

Thanks Mow;

You have confirmed that what I wanted to do was the best thing for now
anyway.

The update has been placed in the hidden area of Windows updates so I don't
get notified about it again.
