Critical Windows update for Core 2s

Microsoft has released a critical update for Windows machines running processors from Intel's Core 2 and Xeon 3000/5000 families.

The update is recommended for 32- and 64-bit versions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2003, along with the 32-bit versions of Windows XP.

the problem also affects Core 2-based systems not running Windows, and motherboard manufacturers are working to release urgent BIOS updates that refresh the microcode versions too.

I haven't had a problem yet, and it says that "it's very rare," but I will go ahead and check for updates anyways. Thanks for the heads-up!
