Its 'AMD processor software update released on August 29 2001'
Download size 31KB
Only info given is 'AMD K7 Processor'
Personally I never use winupdate for drivers, only use hardware manu.site.
as I believe the winupdate drivers listed are generic/reference drivers and
as such may differ from the specific hardware manu.drivers - I could be
wrong, but having prev.installed a couple that gave probs I reverted to the
manu.drivers even were they were updates.

| About a week ago a driver update for AMD processors
| started showing up in my Windows Update scan. The date
| listed is August 29th 2001 however I have never seen this
| update listed until last month. There is no info in the
| details and I can't find any information in the MS
| knowledge base.
| When it first showed up I instinctively installed it and
| ran into huge performance problems. Could not get my
| connection to work,etc. I couldn't find the update listed
| under add/remove programs and ultimately I had to restore
| my windows xp to a restore point from a day before.
| Now everything works peachy but that driver update still
| shows up as a choice to install. What is this? and why
| is it buggy?

Do a search of theKB. It's an update for the processor. Apparently you don't
have sp1.
