Amd X2 3800 but what ram to go with it ? pc3200,4000,500 what one would be the best suited ? I want to overlock. But have no idea how much i need to with this cpu. I take it the multi is locked so the only way i can do it is with the FSB.

After having installed the AMD Dashboard utility from the AMD website, and then trying to run it, it shows an error mesage saying "Failed initializing, make sure the AMDTools Driver is installed and that this system has a PSS or PST object". Reading about PSS and PST they happen to be ACPI objects....

Thanks to all for previous advice. My upgrade (Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe) from FX-55 to 4600+ went smoothly. To answer the biggest question: I did NOT have to reinstall Windows XP! Windows XP Pro recognized the second CPU (i.e core) immediately. (This was my biggest worry, as NT 4.0 Workstation and...

Hi guru's :) I tried many combinations of DIMM slots, the result is always a hanging (locked up) memory selftest during POST. Sometimes it gets to 2048 MB, sometimes to 1024, sometimes only to 48 MB or even 7 MB (depends on which DIMM slots are used). I assume I have "128 bit dual channel RAM"...

I've been researching my next laptop purchase, and whether it will run Linux, and completely accidentally stumbled upon an alarming issue that people need to be more aware about. Apparently (and if my understanding is correct), HP/Compaq disables dual-channel memory access in Socket 939...

I have A'64 3700+ and A8N-SLI Mobo, at boot up the CPU fan will sometimes be below 800rpm. It's now happening more often than not. Once in Windows it gets to about 1125 (that's what it is right now). Current temps: CPU 37, System 34. Is this ok? Right now it gets pretty cold over here (Melbourne,...

Hi I have recently upgraded to amd64 3200+ plus gigabyte motherboard. On my old 32bit chip I didn't have this problem. I am using my old geforce fx5600 card 256mb ram. My problem is I can play an avi video using realplayer or windows media the first time fine, but when I try to play another video...

Hey guys, I am currently running an AMD 64 939 3500+ system with an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe MB. I have 2 x 120GB Raided SATA HDD's, 2 x 512 of RAM Dual Channel, 1 x Winfast 6600GT GC. I was asking about a Linux distro in another group to suit my computer and people suggested the fedora Core 4, had a...

I just built a Media Center PC with an Athlon 64 - 3000 Venice, and the stock heatsink/fan. Even with cool n' quiet enabled, the processor fan is still a little loud for a living room PC. Any suggestions on quieter cooling solutions. Not water, BTW. I'm thinking about something like the Zalman...

I have two partitions (C: and D:). In C: I have Windows XP and today I have installed Windows XP x64 in D:. Everything is OK and the operating system goes well, but when I reboot for the first time after installing Windows XP x64, without any question about which Windows I want, Windows XP (not...

I have Samsung PC3200 (2 x 512) memory. When o/c should the memory run synchronously with FSB? e.g. FSB 225 Memory 225. Or can the memory run asynchronously? e.g FSB 225 Memory 200 Thanks Wad

So what are some really good 64 bit Linux programs? And what is a good 64 bit Linux distro? I've toyed around with redhat on my 32 bit machine in the past but I've never found a reason to actually use Linux for anything so I got rid of it. The idea seems good but the practicality just isn't there -...

Hello Everyone, First post. I have been using Athlon XP 2500 Barton for two years. Everything was good, but recently, after a few hot days with 30+ (I'm in Canada) the computer started rebooting. What I can see from my BIOS, is that the fan is running at ~3750 rpm. Also, it takes the processor...

If I get a retail amd with heatsink and fan, is the thermal paste on the heatsink enough or should I add more. does any one know a good website with instructions and suggestions on the subject thanks Vinny

Hello. I bought AMD64 2800+ (754) Boxed CPU in Fry's Electronics. According the price tag label it should have 1MB L2 cache. When I ran CPUID it showed 512KB L2 Clawhammer 1.8GHz. I thought that 754pins Clawhammers should only come with 1MB cache. Is it some kind of low grade reject they sold me...

I have an AMD FX-55 (in my Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe), which I'd like to replace with an AMD X2 processor. I want to do this at minimal cost. Can someone please advise me on the best way/place to sell my current FX-55 processor? I have the boxed version, but it is installed in my system. Will I have...
