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...

I'm looking at the 4400+ X2 and need to know if this cpu is compatible with my MSI MS-7025 (NEO2 Platinum). MSI's site shows that, as of BIOS version 1.9 (the 2nd latest), support was added for the AMD E6 cpu. Is the dual core in the E6 family? Has anyone installed the 4400x2 in this...

I've got an MSI NForce3, socket 939 motherboard, and the chipset fan is very loud. It's a media center PC, so noise is bad, very bad! Can anyone recommend a quiet replacement? Or offer any other suggestions? Thanks!

I'm using AMD Sempron 2800+ 64bit. I've seen many screenshots from the users who are using the same CPU. What I noticed was, their revision is E6 but mine is DH-E6. Is there any difference between E6 and DH-E6?

I was wondering: In a thread in a different forum, someone pointed out to me that there are Venice Revision E3, E4, and E5 etc. chips. What are the differences between them, and why would I need a newer BIOS for the newer ones? Do they have different voltage, RAM, etc. parameters? TIA!

Bought an ECS 755-A2 with a Sempron 2800 CPU and it only sees 256M of a 512M stick of double sided ram. Haven't tried upgrading bios yet and was just wondering if anyone else here has seen a problem similar? The manual says it supports double rank ram. This ram worked fine in an old socket A sis...

For models of AMD Athlon 64 and 64 X2 and Opteron which implemented SSE3, is this a FULL IMPLEMENTATION of the SSE3 instruction set or just a partial subset? I seem to be getting different answers depending on what I read.

Hi, This is to announce that, after a long hiatus and some major code overhaul, version 0.9 of udis86 has been released - http://udis86.sourceforge.net/ Udis86 is an easy-to-use minimalistic disassembler library (libudis86) for the x86 and x86-64 (AMD64) range of instruction set architectures....

Hi - My motherboard supports 16 gig RAM. I'm currently running 4 gig (this particular motherboard has 4 slots per processor so I'm at 2 gig per processor). The OS is reporting 2.75 gig when I right click on "my computer" because of a "memory hole" set up automatically in BIOS. I am using the /pae...

DFI Lanparty UT NF4 Ultra-D this support Opteron 165 cpu ?? Also does an Opteron Support normal ram. Or do i have to use ECC ram ??? Thanks. Would but nice if i can setup the system. I dont have any other 64bit cpus.

I had to remove the AMD heatsink from an Ath64 in the past as part of an RMD on a motherboard only to have the chip stuck firmly to the heatsink. This resulted in pulling the chip out of the socket under force. I was lucky that the CPU still worked after than kind of stress. I'd rather not repeat...
