Windows Update shows a patch called "AMD K7 Processor - V. 5.1.2535.0". I'm running Windows XP with an Athlon XP 1800+. Do I need this patch? What's it do?
It looks to me like you're running a beta. Is this the case?
(they releaesd update "cpu drivers", or something, in one of the later betas. real versions of XP are build 2600, not 2535)
No it's not beta. 5.1.2535.0 is the version of the amdk7.sys file the patch installs.
All it does is give XP support for AMD's PowerNow feature used on their mobile processors. It showed up a few months ago on the Windows Update page. Not needed unless you are using a mobile processor. You can install it if you want.
