Hi,
for the record: I had the Q9000 (not Q9100) running in my Thinkpad T500 for a few weeks now without microcode updates and did not encounter any issues so far.
Cheers, Daniel

My question is: Does this CPU require the microcode updates or will it run without? Practical experience from someone running this or a simular CPU from the same family (Q9000, Q9300) would be appreciated!
