Odd M$ Update for XP


I just went to the M$ update site for Xp Pro and there I was offered an AMD Processor Software Update released August 29 2001.
I always do my updates manually and I don't remember seeing this before.

Clicking for information just gives AMD K7 Processor with the rest blank.

Now I have an Athlon XP2400 which is a K7 so why the provision now of an old patch? or have they just cocked up, it does happen.

I got exactly the same thing earlier on. I also noticed(as you did) the date that the patch was issued and wandered what was going on.

I also get reminders for my SIS card drivers when I update too.
