I would like to ask subscribers to report in this thread links to attempts to use AMD Phenom X6 (Thuban Core) in AM2+ motherboards with the following chipsets: 790FX + SB600, 790FX + SB750 and 790GX + SB750. Are there any AMD people here who can provide insight into real backwards compatibility...

I thought it wasn't out yet, but people are reporting having them. I can't find any UK supplier with stock, though: anyone know what's happened?

Going from a 3500 to FX-57

Hey all, This may seem ignorant, but I have a bunch of questions that a lot of you would probably be able to answer very easily for me. I am looking to build a computer for a friend, as I know more about this stuff than he does, but I am not nearly caught up on hardware as I'd like to be.

I'm seriously considering purchasing an Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe, paired with an Athlon 64 4000 90nm rev. Before pulling the trigger, does anyone have any strong objections to this mobo? What about SATA2 support (and does SATA2 even make that much of a difference)? Thanks in advance.

I so badly wish to upgrade my current system. - Abit KR7A w/ AMD Athlon 1700+ - Seagate 20 gig HD - Maxtor 40 gig external encloser backup USB 1.1 This system has functioned incredibly well over the last four years since I built it. But, I would like to take advantage of all the latest technology

Hi, I have a HP Pavilion a1357c which has AMD64 X2 4200+ processor. My understanding is that it is a 64bit processor. My machine is running Windows XP Media Center edition. I am thinking of upgrading to Vista 64bit Ultimate. In reviewing the requirements for 64bit Ultimate, Microsoft says...

I have Dell E521 which has a AMD 64x 2 5000 ,would that be able to use AMD 64x 2 6000,I know mobo has socket AM2,and would that be a significant performance gain? Thanks

I have an AMD PhenomII X4 955 Black Edition and this is a 4 core processor? I have run CPUZ 1.54 64 bit and it says that the processor is running 2 cores and 2 threads. I thought that this was meant to be a 4 core CPU? I have run CineBench 11 and it says it is 2 core 2 Threads also. Is this...

Is Athloon 64 being seen as 2 CPU's on Windows Xp 64 ?

I've got a good running Intel-based system (P4 3.0 on and Intel 875PBZ main board, a gig of OCZ RAM and an ATI 9500 PRO 128 Mb video card) but I've become intrigued with swapping the board and CPU for AMD based setup just because everyone says they simply run better. Hell, I'll take the plunge...

I'm a very experienced computer system builder :D But so far all systems I've built are around the Athlon XP 32-bit ones. Never touched any 64-bit stuff. So could anyone (preferably those who has a 64-bit AMD and had used an AMD 32-bit CPU/mobo) point out the most important things I need to know...

My new athlon XP system just got fried.. I have some questions. I've heard the Athlon64 3200+ can beat a P4 3.2 EE in most tests. Is this true, and is there any reason why one would buy the P4 over the A64 other than bias? Also, i'm a bit confused now.. I see A64 3200+ listed at pricewatch.....

I have a zv5000z with an AMD Athlon 64 2800+. It is capable of hitting 1.8 GHz. However, for some reason, when I left click on My Computer and hit Properties, I almost always get a processor speed no greater than 797 MHz. As usual, no one at HP can help me with this problem. Any suggestions?

When everyone says buy "Good" ram for overclocking, what would be some examples of "Good" ram? I need to make a purchase soon. Thanks

Need to get a new psu and am lost with all the different makes and models. Will be on a amd 64 system with 2 ide drives on a raid array and 2 sata drives on a raid array also the usual dvd writer and graphics card willing to go around the £75 if needed thanks

Hey there, I have an Athlon64 3000+ sitting in a Chaintech ZNF3-250 Motherboard. What I'm woundering is, if anyone knows if there is an decent 3rd party CPU temp monitor program for that board. I tried out MBM 5 with the latest updates but in only officially supports the ZNF3-150, and when...

It seems to me like socket 754 is on its way out, to be replaced by sockets 939/940. From what I've read it is already at the limit of its capabilities, while sockets 939/940 have a lot more potential left. I was considering upgrading my system to a 64-bit processor, but it doesn't seem like 754...

I have just bought a new PC (A64 3400+) and although it loads winxp fine when it is first turned on it says "No device found!" and then "BIOS is not installed" at the start of the POST... My Mobo is a Microstar K8T800... ....and it is a Promise BIOS I think....It won't even give me the option...
