Doesn't really surprise me. Processor complexity has been increasing by leaps and bounds.

It's weird how we don't hear a lot about this from intel core 2 duo users. They should be having all sorts of trouble, shouldn't they?

Well, FWIW, I'm having all kinds of wierdness with my new C2D Celly rig in Vista right now.
BSODs galore.

This thread with contributions with Linus Torvalds and another Linux kernel developer would suggest that the errata are minor at worst.

Every six months or so the Inq publishes a link to an Intel cpu bug and the online world go's crazy for week.

Most of the talking is done by people who have no idea what the are talking about.
