Well as the title says the Spectre & Meltdown patches ruined the good experience I was having with my PC and it now feels like I am using a very old and out of date laptop. I must agree that my laptop is pretty old (HP Elitebook 8770W 5 years old)....
There has been a lot discussion about Meltdown and Spectre on this forum and others, but I'm still confused. And I have 2 computers, and possibly 3, that are old enough that no BIOS remedy will be forthcoming so I'm going to be vulnerable to...
I am running FCU Win 10 Pro on a MSI P35 Neo F v1 motherboard with Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU. I have ran the MS controlsettings script which informs me I am protected from Spectre by Windows Update but not Meltdown without a BIOS/Microcode update.
As...
