I just got a new AMD X2 4200 system... I've been looking for some kind of tool that gives me a bit of info about what each CPU is doing... IE if I boot up a few programs I'd like to see which CPU is doing what, how much memory each cpu is using, how much load each cpu is under... etc etc.... Any...

I got an Athlon 64 3000+ retail (connected to an ASUS K8N-E board) with the stock HSF. It does a decent job of cooling, but it's kind of loud. I was surprised by how much noise it makes, considering it's a largish fan that only rotates at 3300RPM. Any suggestions for a quiet replacement fan? ...

Hi, i recently got a free upgrade of a amd 3200 64 90nm cpu from my normal 3000xp, and just as a tester i ran a 3dmark05 demo, i got 4400 before and now i'm getting 4150~. I've had to change the mobo, is some bios settings? It's just kinda weird, this was a gradual upgrade, as i did have a...

I am planning to upgrade my PC in the most economical manner over the next 12 months Starting with a new Motherboard and 64bit Processor. All current loaded software is for 32bit. Will fitting a 64 bit processor affect any of my software or should I stick with fitting a new...

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...

Hi there all I know this mobo is old, but it is giving me the opportunity to play with some Opterons, something I've dreamed about since I heard of their existance 4 or 5 years ago. MSI-9131 K8D Master F 2 x 248 CPU 2 x 1GB PC 2700 - slots 2 and 6 2 x Samsung 250GB SATA2 running RAID_0

Looking to build a new AMD system, using 939 socket. Probably will go with a dual-core CPU and 2 gig RAM. In the past I've always been I diehard ASUS fan, but looking at the ASUS message boards, I'm seeing stability and performance issues that worry me a little. Maybe all 939 boards have these...

would I be better off getting a FX-60 instead of upgrading my current processors that is a second box, or keep investing in my dual box i do a lot of photography related stuff, such as raw conversion and photo retouching current Opterons are 250's thanks

Hello. 1st time poster. I have a quick question for the experienced. Are there any concerns with the 'standard' (ie Amd retail version) of the heatsink/fan that comes standard with this chip? I just purchased one from Newegg (along with a DFI Lan nf3, OCZ 2x512 Pc3200), and I want to know if I...

Hi, I am going to replace my old 1.2Ghz Athlon box (btw, I never had a PC so long before upgrading) with something better. I need it to be portable (so Shuttle XPC seems to be a good option), and my PC spends most of its time running Visual C++ compiler - so that Athlon 64 is probably the best...

Hi, I have a AMD 2400 which is cooled by a fan. The case has a 400 watt psu and a 120mm fan. Is it possible to cool this processor passively? Bob

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
