Tried to use an Athlon 64 3500+ Venice in 2 Epox 9NDA3+ mobo's and no go. Only way to get them to power up is to hold the power switch in and turn the power on, on the UPS or Power Strip. Bad CPU? Or is this combo just a no go. BTW ... An Athlon64 Winchester 3200+ powers up and runs fine in...

Hey all, I have a system that I'm trying to fix for a friend. I think there's a motherboard problem but I want to run this by you all and get a second opinion. The board is a Gigabyte GA-K8NS socket 754 with a 3200 Athlon 64. Symtoms..system powers up with no POST, no beeps. I've unplugged all...

Hey guys, looking for some insight here..I've built a new system around an Athlon 64 Dual Core 3800+, Abit KN9 motherboard, and a pair of 1 gig sticks of G.Skill PC800 memory. Problem is, the system won't run stable when the memory sticks are running dual channel. For example: With a stick in...

Hi all! I hope this is not a FAQ but I've downloaded three times the image of the CD for new WinXP64 before asking here. My problem is that the CD burned from this image is non-bootable and if i try run setup in WinXP 32 i get an error box telling: "Welcome to Windows XP has encountered a problem...

Hi all, I'm looking at the AMD Athlon 64 3000+ for my next PC. I have heard that AMD's win in the gaming sector, which is what this system would be for, as I have my New Laptop and Desktop (See Sig.) for other multimedia uses. My 2 questions a 1) The FSBs on P4s are apparently quad...

I'm planning on putting together my first Athlon 64 system. I have built several Athlon XPs but have no familiarity with the 64. On NewEgg I see they're selling Athlon 64 2800+ at $113 for either Clawhammer or Newcastle, and all the specs appear to be the same between the two. What's the difference?

I did a little reading on the new AMD core, Brisbane. It looks like this is the 65 nm version of the dual core X64. According to AnandTech, the power is only a little lower than the 90 nm versions and is about the same as the Intel 65 nm chips. This review also seemed to indicate that the Intel...

I've got Gigabyte K8N Ultra-9 with Athlon 64 3000+. On Windows XP SP2 only only front seakers output works. During booting some small noise is heard from subwoofer, so connectors on the motherboard must be OK. I've tried upgrading bios, Realtek AC'97 and nForce 4 drivers. Nothing has changed. I...

Hello out there, I plan to upgrade my existing system; Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939 Athlon 64 3500+ 2gig DDR400 Infineon (DDR400) with AMDs best 939-based Opteron, the 185 (2x2,6ghz, 1000mhz HT). The mainboard itself has the nforce3 ultra 250gb chipset.

I wonder how higher VCore can impact on my CPU Athlon 64 3000+ Winchester. Unfortunately my CPU needs 1.5 V to work with FSB=241. I need exact 241 FSB because memory comes back with 200MHz at 166/200 divider. And it runs as Athlon~3600. From AMD homepage I can read: "ADA3000DIK4BI Model Number...

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

I have to make a decision on a new computer, and would appreciate some advice. I'm definitely not any kind of hardware or software expert, so please forgive the newbie tone to my questions. I'm I scientist and I do a variety of different kinds of computationally intensive crunching on large (i.e....

Hi, Guys ! I've been using a desktop Acer Aspire with dual core AMD 5200+ for over a year now, and everything seems to be running very smoothly, but somehow curiosity is hanging heavily over my head, so I would like to ask you experts on what I would get (if anything), if I were to switch over...

Saw this on theinquirer.net http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=21583 Definitely looks like a winner, and with Cebit right around the corner, the wait for the new system may be over... Any idea on price?

Hi All, Is there any word on the ATI RS480 chipset based MBs using the DX9 graphics solution? I'm looking for a new system, but the only board that I see in the US with is the MSI board, which falls short for me in that there's no firewire, the sound chip is 5.1 instead of 7.1 (I hope to end up...

Hi All, My old 366MHz Celeron system finally died after 7+ years, and I'm looking to upgrade. 64 bit CPUs beckon. Salvaging HDs and Optical drives, it looks like I'd need MB + CPU + RAM. I'm looking at a 939 ATI Xpress 200 (w/integrated graphics) board with PCI-E. Based on my reasons listed below,...

I just built my 64AMD Athlon with MSI/VIA K8M800 chipset. Running so smooth with XP/SP1 . I love it. However I'm having a problem with my Motu sound card. It was working fine before with Intel. Anybody in music business? Have anybody try to do the same? Thanks in advance, Jack
