I searched MS's website for "75 GXP" and "75GXP" both returned nothing...

I searched these forums and I see a million and one threads talking about it, but didn't see a link anywhere....maybe I went to fast..but I've got a 550 right now, I'm getting a 700 on order which I hope to overclock...so I should probably get the patch.

Anyone know where at MS to find it?

I think if you go to MS Windows Update and click "Product Updates" it will analyze your system & show you the updates you may need or even want. :confused: The update referred to as "Windows IDE Hard Drive Cache Package" is what you want, I believe. I think if they don't list it, then you already have updated Windows with that patch sometime in the past.

EDIT:
1. Corrected the patch's title.

2. "The Windows IDE Hard Drive Cache package provides a workaround to a recently identified issue with computers that have the combination of Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) hard disk drives with large caches and newer/faster processors. Computers with this combination of hardware risk losing data if the hard disk shuts down before it can preserve the data in its cache." - MS
