the update ws dated Dec. 2002...
i had this pc all through '03 and never got this update...

The update has been around since Dec. 2002.
Maybe you let it automatically update before without realizing it.

i've had auto-update off forever,
and am pretty sure i have had to reformat since i turned it off,
but barely got this update offered maybe a couple of weeks ago :blink:
nope, when i do reinstalls i always disconnect my network cable to prevent hacks and viruses such as that blaster virus, first i do all the performance tweaks which include turning off automatic updates, then i install sp1 which i have on a cd...then i hook up the internet and download any updates released after sp1. i never install the driver updates because they are always old versions of my hardware drivers and i like having the latest versions...and ive never noticed the cpu update before.Quote:

Could it be that the CPU driver update is included with SP1?
Because I remember seeing that update a looong time ago.
Don't think so...I've recently done a format and reinstall of XP Home, installed SP1 and that particular CPU update is still showing up wt the windows update site...Quote:

i guess they stopped including it in SP2 or maybe it just isnt needed...
