Is there a similar hotfix as was released for XP 32, for x64? I was playing
Unreal II yesterday and noticed the strange shift to slow-motion and back to
normal occasionally, a problem I didn't have on XP32 with the dual core
hotfix installed.

MS's hotfix info page says it pertains to 2003 x64 along with the 32-bit
XP's. So this makes me think it also affects Pro x64.

If it applies to Server 2k3 x64, then it applies to XP x64 - they're on the
same code base.

I don't believe I've installed this hotfix on my x64. Should I? And if so,
do you by chance have a link? I did a quick look on MS's site, but couldn't
find anything.

I think this issue was debated here a while ago - it would seem MS Support
has not released the item for download, but you need to contact Support and
state your problem and they will ship it to you. (Probably by sending you a
Link with an ID Key)

Despite my frequent whining over lack of talent in finding things on the
net, I managed quite effortlessly to digg out this:

This is targeted for XP, but you can iron out any wrinkles with the contact

The only dual-core specific hotfix I know about is 896256. You're not likely
to need it unless you are running a virtual machine that you assign multiple
processors to.

There has been a lot of buzz on the gaming sites about this issue, pointing
to KB896256 (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=896256) as proof that there
is something in Windows that is causing this problem. Actually, that
private hotfix is not the fix to this timing problem, although some early
reports demonstrated that it changed the reproducibility. The reality is
that this particular hotfix *already exists* in the Windows Server 2003 SP1
codebase, and therefore is already present on Windows XP Pro x64. Notice
you are still having the problem.

The problem you are seeing is actually addressed by KB900944
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909944). In short, try updating your
processor driver to the latest version from AMD or Intel (likely you have an
AMD X2) and see if that fixes it.

Doesn't solve my issue, which is the timestamp mismatch. That's 896256 -
it's causing issues in VMWare - can't give two procs to a VM.
