I get the following POST message at startup on my K8VT800 system...

K8VT800 F9
Check System Health OK
Main Processor : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+
<CPUID:0FC0 Patch ID:003A>
Memory Testing : 1048576K OK

Anyone know what the <CPUID:0FC0 Patch ID:003A> message is about?

Good question. I've have got the Gigabyte K8VT800M board and see the same
type of message at bootup. I have searched Yahoo! and Google as well as
Gigabyte's website and the manual for my board and come up with nothing.

The CPUID is the core model. I suspect Patch means revision. This might
help. The cpuid in the format above would be 0F48 (15,4,8), patch would be
0001 I guess.

I do believe that is a microcode patch, a block of code loaded into
the CPU to bypass bugs.
