I've put Windows 8 on an older Dell with a core 2 duo e8500 on a g33m02 motherboard, and everything is working fine, except that I am unable to update to Windows 8.1 because the motherboard chipset (apparently) doesn't support CompareExchange128. I've tried drivers from Dell, Intel and Foxconn. I'm about to give up but thought I would check to see if anyone else had come across a solution/workaround.
Thanks!
