I've put a new release of sys_basher on the web, http://www.polybus.com/sys_basher_web/ I've added integer tests and a -memonly switch which will allow you to just run the memory tests by themselves. There are also some bug fixes for the Cygwin version. Sys_basher is a system exerciser that...

I've put a new release of sys_basher on the web. The major new feature of this release is temperature logging. Sys_basher now displays the CPU and system temperatures after each test and the maximum temperatures after all of the tests have completed. I've also added limited Cygwin support so...

can anyone cofirm/deny that cool'n quiet only works in 64 bit mode, under linux specifically. I have tried Centos 4.2 (Redhat Clone) and when I install the i386 version it does not throttle the CPU (cat /proc/cpuinfo shows the CPU always at maximum speed) however on the 64bit version the CPU slows...

Up until now I've been an AMD supporter, probaly because they *used* to offer a far better price performance ratio over intel cpus, This is definately not the case now. I have 4 athlon 64 based machines and only 1 intel. However I think conroe is going to change all of that. It would appear...

Hello all, can someone clarify the situation with regards to this CPU.... does it support 'cool 'n quiet' ? does it do the CPU throttling thing where it drops the CPU speed down when not in use ? Is it built using the same core as the athlon64, with reduced cache ? How much L2 cache do they...

Well, the reviews have started to arrive, it looks like even the 'slower' E6600 (2.4 ghz 4mb cache) is similar in performance to the FX-62. What will AMD do now, give the huge price performace disparity ? Even if they dropped the price on the FX-62 to match the E6600 I wouldn't buy one. Great...

I've been running the WinXP x64 os for several weeks and have noticed some peculiarities and want to know if anyone else is experienceing similar issues. 1) Notepad just wont run. Not with direct launch from start menu, double click file or right click to open with. 2) Other programs have...

Hi Just got hold of this board ( still boxed in lieu of some work done for a local store ) and the chip 3000 is on its way, just want to know if there are any caveats or gotchas to look for. Am running Suse 9.1 on a few machines here ( have been using Linux for over 6 years so not exactly a newb...

Hello! I have a compaq laptop with a turion 64 x2 processor inside. I just downloaded speedfan to watch the temperature. It fluctuates between 50 C and 60 C while idle, depeding on whether the fan is going, and reaches about 75-78 while on full burn (both cores). Is this normal for this type...

I sent an email to CanonUSA to inquire about drivers for my printer (Canon i960) and Winxp64. This was the reply I received: Thank you for your inquiry. We value you as a Canon customer and appreciate the opportunity to assist you. Canon USAs software developers have announced that they...

Recently, I've been feeling the urge to upgrade my computer. But, since I am running: AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 ATI Radeon RX800 Pro WD Raptor 36.7GB SATA HDx2 Corsair TwinX 1024 3200 (2x512 MB) I know this computer really doesn't need upgrading, right now. Do you think adding another 2 sticks of...

Anyone have a voice on what to populte this Dual CPU mobo with ?? I can afford 1GB. Shall I look for four 128s or two 512s ?? I heard Corsair Extreme is too edgy ... Any advice on what (and where) to buy appreciated. TIA -bebopper

Any recommendations on a tried-and-true Power Supply for this mobo ?? According to articles it can run with any 350W PIV compatible PS. Any advantages to a native SATA power connection vs. the standard 4-pin ?? Likewise ATX12v ?? It looks like in order to use ATX12v the board requires a 4-pin...

OK, let me begin by saying that I am *not* overclocking this CPU. I was told that this was clearly an error on core #3 of my processor. I was running OCCT v3.1.0 and had allowed this CPU to begin testing. It lasted all of 5m 53s. I cannot figure out what is wrong here. Is my processor defective or...

I decided to update my Intel 1.6cpu...it is,was the last Intel box in my network. Decided to update to AMD2 socket, DDR, 3800+... Thent he fun began! All the M/B required PCI express card, Ka-ching, Next, all the boards requried DDR2,Ka-ching, Ka-ching. None of the "inexpensive" boards had more...

I have a Venice Core processor, AMD 64 3200 and I've just recently installed an Nvidia 7800gt (6800gt was my previous card) video card into my pc. I was wondering if the processor was up to making the best of this card. Should I go for a higher speed processor like the AMD 64 3800 or maybe go for...

I would like some input as to what you people think the best heat sink and fan are for AMD64- 3500+? Thanks

Does anyone know if the retail box version of the AMD 64 3500+ 939pin comes with a heatsink and fan? If it doesn't what do you suggest would be the best, reasonably priced way to go? Thanks, Bill
