Does anyone know if dual-core chips (in my case an AMD) or Windows XP x64 or both tend to cause the main drive (C:) to run hot? I have a Western Digital SATA drive which I can easily get above 55 degrees C, according to the HD Tune utility. The utility's web site also says drives shouldn't be...

Hi, I have an AMD 64bit CPU on a GA-K8N Pro mb. I am using the sistem since last year with Windows Server 2003 and all goes ok, but never find the time to move to 64 bit. It seems to me natural to move to w2k3 server 64bit, I downloaded the test version mounths ago but never installed it, what...

Apparently, it's available in China and Australia. Figure another two weeks before we see it in the U.S.A. or more?

I have an FX-55 CPU, and I'd like to try boosting the CPU clock multiplier. Using the CoreCenter control that came with my MSI motherboard, I can set the FSB clock speed, but there is no way to set the CPU clock multiplier. How can I adjust the CPU multiplier?

The original Beta 1 of ATI's 64-bit drivers for Win XP64 would install and run on my M6805 with the Mobility 9600 chip. Subsequent betas of the 64-bit driver will not install and say they don't recognize the video chip. Google seems to indcate that there is some way to edit the .inf file(s) to get...
