The microcode updates should be available from Windows Update in the optional hardware update section.

There is no microcode update that I am aware of at the Intel website.

The available downloads are at the folowing web document.

Hi:

See the discussion below for how to update the microcode to get rid of that error.

Basically I have done all of the work for you, other than to visit your house to do it myself.

Also note that you will need to run that Crystalmark utility to make the processor run at the correct FSB speed, everytime you boot into Windows unless you know how to run a batch file to launch the program automatically.

You're very welcome.

That utility is good for both 32 and 64 bit operating systems...It will work on W7 too.

You'll have to install the software and see how it works.  I've never used it myself.
