Of course, which is why I warned the thread parent earlier in the email
chain.
It seems a lot of people fail to appreciate the difference between works
and works securely (aka without any significant errata).
I bought a 62xx opteron instead of a 63xx opteron because it works
securely without microcode (according to various sources), unfortunately
I am unemployed or I would get a 7K POWER system (and pay for firmware
development) - I personally believe that cheap CPU's have ruined the
internet "eternal september".
If anyone can give me one I would appreciate a coreboot wiki editor
account so that I can note that as like others said it isn't made clear
enough (and make a few other changes such as a supported features table
and faq for the motherboards I have)
