Abit seems to regret the QQ BIOS, at least the final version.
Lots of people have posted about high loads on MS-Windows2000.
It's an odd thing, to be sure.
My guess is it's associated with System Management Mode. A
single `rep movsd` instruction with ECX=0 will take a _long_
time to execute, especially since it will generate lots of
pagefaults. The half-hour processor hang corresponds to
210 cycles per `movsd`, in the ballpark for a "absent" pagefault.
In any case, here is Abit's posting, and advice to stick with
the QQ _beta_ BIOS until the RU version is released:
