OT: Intel chipset design error.

Maybe Intel is planning some sort of hardware security tricks in their processors, and wants McAfee to help.

Imagine a code/data protection map, customized for every program, with the mapping determined heuristically? Or something.

From what I've heard, the 6Gb ports are not made by Intel, they are made by a third party.

Some of the traditionally free ones such as AVG have become rather aggressive in trying to get you to switch to the paid version, e.g., popping up a dialog every time you boot the PC or update the virus definitions, reminding you of all the benefits of the paid version.

track.

here is some more info, they now say it is a transistor in the PLL that is leaking. When it gets hot and the voltage is high the PLL no longer locks.

in...

probably, from what I read Intel had to promise that they would give everyone equal access to any and all antivirus HW features or the EU would not allow Intel to buy McAfee
