Anyone know if it's the same for M10000/13000 (bigbrother of C3)?
AFAIK the missing CMOV instr. has been fixed on those cpu's. IMBW..
Further, the VIA KN400-series chipset should be a better design than 
previous ones. If only they had a KN400 pro based board, since the 
non-pro has issues with SATA-2 disks - not that SATA-2 matters on such 
slowish cpu's, but newer, larger disks will likely be SATA-2 mostly.
