cpu microcode update

[valhallarising]

hi, i got a Fujitsu p5730 that gives me warnings about updating microcode on boot, i changed the cpu for a intel core 2 duo 1.86zh dual core cpu that works and runs good but is there something i can do to update the microcode? if i disable warnings on boot in bios i dont get the message but maybe it needs to be done?

Have you got the latest BIOS?

Also, I think Windows loads updated microcode onto the CPU during the boot process anyway so you may not be missing out on any fixes.

(The microcode update has to be loaded onto the CPU every time as it is not held in flash memory.)
