Well, this security hole stinks
"Security researcher and author Kris Kaspersky plans to demonstrate how an attacker can target flaws in Intel's microprocessors to remotely attack a computer using JavaScript or TCP/IP packets, regardless of what operating system the computer is running. "
"I'm going to show real working code…and make it publicly available," Kaspersky said, adding that CPU bugs are a growing threat and malware is being written that targets these vulnerabilities.
Looks like it works on BSD, Linux, Winders Dang 95 - you name it.

Several months ago, I threw out my 64bit processor and bought 128 1/2 bit processors. I've seen incredible performance increases since then.
