it doesnt do jack, doesnt improve anything in benchmarks. Except now my proc runs about 1.5 degrees higher.

Hey don't blame me, blame MS for putting it out 18 months late 😛

FYI this update is in SP1, which I would hope most if not all of you are already running.

This update is only meant for Mobile CPU's in laptops, it has no effect on desktop processors whatsoever!

It just updates some power saving features, etc. Strange that it's been made available on winupdate now.
