Of course, which is why I warned the thread parent earlier in the email 
chain.

It seems a lot of people fail to appreciate the difference between works 
and works securely (aka without any significant errata).


I bought a 62xx opteron instead of a 63xx opteron because it works 
securely without microcode (according to various sources), unfortunately 
I am unemployed or I would get a 7K POWER system (and pay for firmware 
development) - I personally believe that cheap CPU's have ruined the 
internet "eternal september".

If anyone can give me one I would appreciate a coreboot wiki editor 
account so that I can note that as like others said it isn't made clear 
enough (and make a few other changes such as a supported features table 
and faq for the motherboards I have)
