IIRC, they at least have patches for 2.4.9. You really run 2.4.12
instead of 2.4.10 btw.
(I assume you've win4lin 3, if you've win4lin 2, I suggest to upgrade to
win4lin 3, since newer patches only work with version 3)
If they don't have patches for 2.4.10, 2.4.9 patches won't work with
2.4.10 I guess, since quite a lot has changed between 2.4.9 and 2.4.10.
You could just run 2.4.9 then, works just fine for me (unless you've
problems with swap).

With K6 options is supposed to be faster, I never actually benchmarked
it though.

I didn't think anybody would be doing any work at 2am, so I killed your job.
