This non-security critical update helps resolve an issue where a limited
number of systems running a BIOS without production support for Intel
Pentium 4 and Intel Celeron D processors based on Prescott C-0 stepping
can potentially hang on Windows XP Service Pack 2 installation:

not push Revision 8 (sometimes 7) microcode to Prescott processors
