There's no reason to believe netburst systems are not affected by any of 
the cpu issues identified in the past few years, but they are obsolete 
and unsupported so nobody is making official statements about them. 
These systems also lack a number of security features present in modern 
CPUs; picking an ancient chip for "security reasons" is likely 
misguided. Also, in the context of this thread, note that the most 
recent Core 2 processor was released in 2010.
