Hi,

I was researching potential problems for xp sp2 and saw that it can be
real nasty with the Intel P4 Prescott.

I think I have one.,,,I understand the 3.00E means its a Prescott. I
am including the specs of my processor, etc below. I read somewhere
that a Revision of 8 or less is a problem. However, mine is B?

Can you experts look at the specs below and let me know if this is
going to a problem with xp sp2?

No expert, I just run this chip and SP2 with no problems at all. (well
DEP catches some wild legit stuff)
