I have got a custom built machine: Asus M2N68-AM SE2 motherboard with an AMD Athlon I X2 250 3 ghz CPU, plus 320 hd drive, 4 gb RAM (Buffalo), PNY Nvidia G210 card, running Windows 7 64 bit. I had some instability problems when I'd had some apparently faulty Elixir RAM - blue screens, and warped...

Has anyone got a AMD Neo based HP Pavillion dv2? what are your thoughts, is it usable as general use computer (i.e for web/email/ docs) plus a bit of light photo editing?

On June 5, I published the SysMark 2004 comparison between Con E6300 and Athlon 64 X2 3800+. Many visitors from intel.com read that page. On June 6, Anand showed SysMark 2004 comparison between Conroe XE and FX62. Some people keep quoting Anand's stuff as gospel truth. I have proven that Anand is...

I had a similar problem (ended up ditching Win64 for another reason), but here's what may help. The MSI K8T comes with BIOS set to "Cool And Quiet = Disabled". If you enable the Cool and Quiet in BIOS, and then try to install, I believe it may work.

AMD marks its processors with with numbers like 4000+ in addition to the clock rate. I believe the number is supposed to mean how fast it is relative to Intel chips, i.e. a 3200+ AMD chip should be as fast as a 3.2Ghz P4. I was wondering if this is true for numerics, especially its holy...

Hey guys, I noticed recently that when i open my task manager, although there are no programs running, that my physical memory is pretty much always over at least 60%. Is this normal?? And if not is there anything i could do to change it? thanks in advance campino

Those instructions that come with the A64 are not good at all. I don't understand what it means by cam, lug, and all of that garbage. Can anyone help? On top of that, do you have to open the clips a little bit to get the heatsink to rest on-top of the CPU because the heatsink for this one...

Larrabee's Rasterisation Focus Confirmed Wednesday 23rd April 2008, 08:33:00 PM, written by TeamB3D For many months, researchers and marketing fanatics at Intel have been heralding the upcoming 'raytracing revolution', claiming rasterisation has run out of steam. So it is refreshing to hear...

Hi, I'm about to buy a workstation, and wonder what the functional difference would be between getting a machine with two single-core processors, and a machine with one dual-core processor? Is it essentially the same thing, or are the two single-cores more independent in terms of function, memory...

I don't know if this is well known or not but AMD has used different criteria in giving the Sempron line of cpu's its PR numbers. So don't buy a Sempron 3100+ expecting it to be faster than an Athlon 64 3000+. Because it's nowhere close to as fast. AMD ommitted a bunch of the benchmarks used for...

I have not dumped the idea of getting AMD in my notebook just yet because I'm still confused about all the processors they make. You know one of the systems I am interested in is the Compaq Presario 3000 series line. One of those lines in the 3000Z which features the processor from AMD. OK, go...

compaq presario sr2017cl (sr2000 series) amd athlon64 mobo says asus abmzn-la (but nothing on Asus site or Google!) Computer won't post. Took both rams out, computer/mobo won't beep. I think even this pci-express mobo board should still beep if it is good mobo and processor. Nothing wrong with...

I've a server with 2 AMD Opteron 250 cpu's. AMD's website seems to indicate that it should support amd-v but I beg to differ. A DMIDECODE on my Linux server shows no indication of Hardware Virtualization being available for the Opteron 250. I'm a little ****ed about this as I bought this server...

Why AMD should merge with Nvidia Comment: To save us from Intel By Axonn Echysttas TO QUOTE A famous expression: "there can be only one". Looking at how things shape up for AMD and Nvidia, it's rather obvious to see that in the future there can be only one.

They claim they will surpass AMD with new cpu's this year - more powerful CPU's with less power consumption. Do you think this is true or will AMD continue to stay ahead? Is Dell still using only Intel CPU's?

I have a Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P motherboard. I and using 8GB of Corsair DDR3 1333MHz memory (4 x 2GB sticks). My processor is a Phenom II 810 (4 core 2.6GHz). Am I right in thinking that the C1E support should be set to 'Off' for this processor as my understanding is that C1E support was for...

I bought an OEM 3200 and originally it was read as an Athlon XP 3200 on both my original A7N8X Deluxe my A7N8X-E Deluxe. When I updated the A7N8X-E Deluxe BIOS to 1012-e the processor is coming up as a Sempron 2200mhz in the bios. I have the processor speed at 200 and the multiplier is at 11 in...
