It can read the model specific registers and write them (rdmsr and wrmsr). Additionally, if you search the web for Intel Secrets and look up Pentium Pro Family Developer's Manual in Appendix C it has a description for the Model specific registers. The filename is 242692_1.pdf . I think that these are all the bits that we need to implement fastvid 8) Enjoy, Amancio
