      Surprise surprise. . .

      AMD processors are affected by a patch meant for Intel systems. . . and Microsoft is mums-the-world about the whole thing. . .

      Not sure why Microsoft couldn't detect if you are using Intel or AMD processors and then turn off when its a AMD processor.

      Because AMD is affected by the part that Windows has to add.

        Hmmm... why is the OS patching for Intel at all, rather than pushing the microcode?

          That will be the logical step 🙂

          Microsoft involved. Logic does not exist in that world.

          MS has some really insideous deals with Intel. They easy have no choice but to cripple themselves on AMD to meet their deal made with Intel.

              KVM smokes VirtualBox. Well, wouldn't we assume that it would?

                      It would of made more sense to compare Xen and KVM.

                          That's credibility destroying. Like getting RAID and backup advice from Linus Tech Tips... (Context)

                                  I'm hoping the resolution update will help the nausea I feel every time I put one of these things on. They are talking about doing some smoothing in the software as well but that would mean I would need a stupidly beastly computer to do it.

                                    Smoothing in the headset software, if the computer was doing the smoothing, you'd just render higher.
