Windows XP Service Pack 3 Kills AMD Machines
I’ve always been a defender of Windows XP against Vista, but it looks like the much expected Service Pack 3 for XP has something against computers using AMD processors, or at least this is what Jesper Johansson, former program manager for security policy at Microsoft, says.
The problem is narrowed to AMD customers that bought their computers from HP. Apparently these machines running SP3 act funny and won’t allow users to get so much as Safe Mode when rebooting. Johansson thinks the problem is HP putting images of Windows on their machines.
Enough with this much expected upgrade and though I don’t run on an AMD processor I will probably stay away for a while until MSFT has it under control.
