I should be more clear: I would *expect* a BIOS upgrade to fix this. Intel provided firmware fixes perhaps 6 months ago to motherboard manufacturers, and this would have appeared in any subsequent BIOS release. But with or without BIOS fixes, GMP 6.1.1 will resolve this issue as upgrading BIOS is not a task for everyone. (Of course, we cannot be completely sure that our assumptions about the cause of the problems observed by you are caused by the faulty Pentium chips are correct. But I would almost bet and arm and a leg they are.) -- Torbjörn Please encrypt, key id 0xC8601622 _______________________________________________ gmp-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://gmplib.org/mailman/listinfo/gmp-bugs
