       For that to happen, the processors must get 65,000 times faster than   
   the old 200MHz processors. I'd say that'll hardly happen in our   
   lifetime.  8-)

       As many already have pointed out, the patch is done to CRT.ASM, that   
   you should have in the \RTL\CRT\ subdirectory, if you have a properly   
   installed BP7. The patch is very simple, it's just a few changes in the   
   One-time Initialization routine in the beginning of the file. See below   
   (the original code is in capital letters, my changes in small):

   	JE	@@2   
   	MOV	BL,ES:[DI]

   	CALL	DelayLoop   
   	NOT	AX   
   	NOT	DX

   	mov	si, ax   
   	mov	ax, dx   
   	xor	dx, dx   
   	div	cx   
   	mov	DelayCntHi, ax   
   	mov	ax, si   
   	DIV	CX   
   	MOV	DelayCnt,AX
