  DJ,

Given that a microcode update would apply to all processors of a given
type and given this is a security related matter, the chances are very
good that *somebody* will extract and "leak" the microcode files to
the public even if Intel/AMD does not (officially) do so.

IMHO, tis kind of silly of Intel/AMD to expect microcode updates to
come only by way of BIOS updates given how reluctantly motherboard
makers issue BIOS updates.


   Cheers,

   Mike
