The bug only effects 2.4 kernels and they will be fixed automatically
with 2.4.18 kernels hopefully. It has been known for windoze 2k and
patched for more than 1 year.

Subject: [newbie] AMD CPU bug

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/3/23749.html

anyone know anything about this?  i have not personally had more than 2 
crashes with mandrake since i started using it with 7.1, and i am on an 
athelon, but the news makes it sound like only _some_ cpus are affected.

if you use the fix and are not affected are you taking a performance hit
for 
nothing?
