Hi, Which is the better performer when it comes to video editing, especially converting to/from DivX, editing mpeg's, etc ? Everything I read regarding the Athlon 64 talks about how great it is for games.. but I'm not a gamer so I couldn't care less about this.. I wanna know how it performs for...

What's the conversion formulas between a ghz speed of an Intel processor and an AMD processor? I know for example that a 2.5Ghz Intel is not equivalen to a 2.5Ghz Amd processor, so what should i do to compare these processors? Thanks ---------------------------------- The number of notes played...

60C is a bit hot - most programs to monitor motherboard temperatures set the warning levels at 60. Easy to check - just take the side panel off the case and that'll drop temperatures quickly and burn some cd's. If all goes smoothly look at ways to drop your temperatures. eg keep the case dust free...

Will this motherboard take a 1Gb of memory in both the A0 and the A1 slot. I am running version 1.6 I think of the BIOS but the machine on boot will only see 131mb of memory and dxdiag only reports the same. Have tried swaping over slots but machine at time refuses to boot without 256 in slot A1....

I have Linux and Windows 98 installed on my Slot A SD11 motherboard w/ a 550Mhz Athlon processor. If I visit http://members.optushome.com.au wcallen/ in either os, I reboot after loading ~80% of the page. The manufacturer's website has nothing on this. I'm tempted to recycle my motherboard, but...

Hello everyone, I was wondering what you all thought about AMD Athlon 64 (probably just a 3000+). I am in the process of upgrading my motherboard/processor and am considering this combo (with ABit AV8 Pro). One of my friends is trying to talk me out of the AMD; he's a Pentium man and doesn't...

I bought a motherboard and AMD Athlon 64 3000+ processor yesterday. I asked about thermal paste, and the guy said all the thermal stuff was included with the CPU. However, I was reading the CPU manual, and it says thermal interface material is necessary. I don't know if it's some kind of tape...

First of all, sorry for crossposting... What would you suggest between Athlon 64 3200+ and Dual Athlon XP 2800+? I mean, which will be more usable in real life (Video processing, games, and other high-processor-dependent)? I'll buy it next week so any comment is welcome..... Aside from that, the...

Just did a BIOS update on my MSI K8T NEO FIR. Now XP is reporting a 990 MHz clockspeed. The MSI WMI utility tells me this much...

Like a real 4x4, this was intended to be a strong performer, only AMD would be relying on two processor sockets to achieve this performance rather than one. http://tophardware-news.blogspot.com/search/label/CPUs

Hi group, What's the difference between an Athlon 64 3800+ and an Athlon 64 X2 3800+. I know the last one is dualcore, but what does this mean in terms of speed? Machine will run be used for Visual Studio 2005 development, SQL Server 2005, Office and Video-editing. Will the dualcore AMD give me...

Well today we received 2 NEW AMD CPU's, the Athlon 64FX and Athlon 64 3200+. The mainboards were pre-production Gigabyte, GA-K8NNXP and GA-K8NNXP-940. A good start CPU coolers fit like the P4 so the risk of damage when fitting is much lower. We found that the N-vidia FX5900 (Asus) video cards did...

http://silverlight.net/forums/t/76402.aspx "This processor has a known problem when using early BIOS versions. The symptom of that problem is exactly what you describe (Media playback speed is not as expected)". Is it true or it smells like fake?

I guess after long tries, my board only takes 1700-2100 palomino (18 micron) chips, not (13 micron) thourghbred. http://www.soyousa.com/kb/kbdesc.php?id=91 Next question is this. Does anyone know where, or know of a place where they would know the difference to sell you a Palomino chip?
