This build is often mislabeled either as build 319.1 or 328.1, which are actually file versions of its kernel files (<code>NTOSKRNL.EXE</code> and <code>NTKRNLMP.EXE</code>). NTFS now works in this build. | This build is often mislabeled either as build 319.1 or 328.1, which are actually file versions of its kernel files (<code>NTOSKRNL.EXE</code> and <code>NTKRNLMP.EXE</code>).

Around the release of this build, the now well-known error in the processor detection routine appeared, preventing installation on the Pentium Pro and later without modification. It made its way into the [[Windows NT 3.1 build 511|final release]] and persisted into [[Windows NT 3.5x#Windows NT 3.5|Windows NT 3.5]]. It was finally fixed around [[Windows NT 3.51 build 1002]]. | Around the release of this build, the now well-known error in the processor detection routine appeared, preventing installation on the Pentium Pro and later without modification.

Compared to the RTM, it also affects newer 486 processors that support CPUID functionality and Pentium processors, making installation only possible on a 386 or an old 486 processor.<ref>http://www.os2museum.com/wp/why-windows-nt-from-october-1992-refuses-to-install-on-modern-cpus/</ref> | ||
