BIOS and multiple-processor systems errors
All versions of Windows that support multiple processors rely on the system BIOS for information on speed, stepping, core voltage and bus-speed multiplier. Unless the system error log is being monitored carefully, programs that depend on BIOS processor information to perform timing adjustments may malfunction completely. If this happens, many, if not all, of the benefits of having multiple processors will be lost.
Read this tip to find out how to fix this problem and guard against future occurrences.

Partially naked truth, Janet has engines jumpin'
![]()
Here's a little tidbit of news that has popped out of (or been ripped from) the wires. Janet Jackson has hit the top of the charts. Not the music charts, the Internet search charts. According to Terra Lycos and Yahoo, Jackson's flashy finish at the Super Bowl halftime show is the most searched-for image in Internet history. It blew the Britney-Madonna smooch out of the water, which you have to think was part of the plan. TiVo
officials say the mammary moment was also the most-replayed scene in its history. Which makes you wonder -- if this had happened 10 years ago, would anyone have noticed, or would it have been a flash in the pan?
