If I read correctly, it's an hardware problem, and those are the fabricants involved:
PCI ID Hardware Vendor 1039:0530 Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) 1039:0620 Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) 10B9:0533 Acer Labs, Inc. (ALi) 10B9:1533 Acer Labs, Inc. (ALi) 1106:0596 VIA Technologies, Inc. (VIA) 1106:0686 VIA Technologies, Inc. (VIA) 1166:004F Serverworks Corporation 1166:0050 Serverworks Corporation 8086:7110 Intel Corporation
Ah, I see that now. It also looks like those IDs are stored in the registry, so one could theoretically check to see if QPC/QPF performed correctly for the system, and then fall back on a lower precision but correct implementation. --Michael Fawcett
