Probably the wrong place to be asking for an unbiased answer, I'll give it a go anyway. In the past, I've always been an Intel fan. Can't quite put my finger on the reason why, however they've just always 'felt' faster. I did make the move to an Athlon 1700+ at one stage and enjoyed it...

I haven't pushed it over 1.475V

Anyone know if 939 Semprons are coming, or has AMD cancelled them? -- Ed Light Smiley :-/ MS Smiley :-\ Send spam to the FTC at

This morning I reported that the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum can only recognize 3.5G of memory. The MSI website says, Due to the South Bridge resource deployment, the system density will only be detected up to 3+ GB (not full 4GB) when each DIMM is installed with an 1GB memory module I also have an MSI...

I am going to build a system with asus 939 board but i am wondering if the pci express video cards have dvi output on them or if i shopuld keep my fx5200 and search for a board wich supports agp or is it best to go pci express?...thnks

Hi, I have a laptop running Mandriva linux 10.2 64bit LE2005 on a hp pavilion 5410us with an amd athlon 64bit processor. My problem is that I have a Linksys Bluetooth BT100 dongle that doesnt seem to work at all. When i do "hciconfig" or a "hcitool dev" i get no devices found. I he 1x2.0 USB and...

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...

For some reason I'm unable to reply to your post in the previous thread. No idea why, it just won't go through, so a new post is my only option. To answer your question...memory hole mapping is disabled although it doesn't seem to make a difference either way when set. Also, I've had my 4400+ up...

I'll be buying/building a new system within the next 45 days or so. I'm planning on going with AMD again, and looking at 939 motherboards from ASUS and others. I've been out of the loop for a while, so looking for recommendations, since there are a variety of manufacurers I've never even heard of...

Does anyone know much about the AMD X2 4200+ vs other cpus? It is comming in my new pc and I'm curious to read reviews on that card, but I've only seen reviews for the 4800+ model of the X2. I'm curious how it will compare to my current pc which has an AMD 64 3500+ and other comparable Intel chips...

Does anyone make single bank 512M or 1G DDR 3200 DIMMs? I've been looking at the Crucial, Kingston and Mushkin websites and I haven't been able to find single bank DIMMs that are larger then 256M. On the MSI K8N motherboards you can't run faster then 333MHz with 4 double sided DIMMs.

I have an Athlon 64 3000+ with 512 megs ram (2 256m in dual channel mode) and am running Windows 2000 SP4. I'd like to experiment with Lunix, but have never used anything except Knoppix 3.9. I've been working with computers since the Timex Z81 and PCs since DOS 3.x days, have a good working...

I ws planning to upgrade the CPU from my old trusty XP1600 to something a bit more powerful. My budget isnt unlimited but I thought it woulld be a simple case of new CPU and maybes a new Mobo. I currently has an Asus MB bit a friend has told me that I will need a new one and also that if I go for...

Hello again. I am about ready to purchase and would like some more feedback. I've decided to go with a socket 939 CPU/motherboard. I've settled on the MSI K8T Neo2-F and an AMD Athlon 64 3000 Venice (probably OEM). It is my understanding that I will experience a performance benefit from running...

Any recommendations for a good,dependable motherboard for a dual core 4400 Athlon 64?Must have PCI-E,but I've decided against a SLI board,from all the problems I've heard of,sounds like they haven't worked out all the bugs.And I'm not into overclocking,so that's not a factor.

I thought it wasn't out yet, but people are reporting having them. I can't find any UK supplier with stock, though: anyone know what's happened?

Waws cleaning inside the case tonight and the AMD cooler which only latches on one nub on each end almost fell off in my hand. The middle nub of the HS retainer broke. Now the HS retainer has 3 nubs but AMD cooler only used one to hold the HS in place. Just ****es me off. Luckily I had a spare $6...

I'm wondering if someone on this group could answer a question about the AMD 64 processor for me. I consider myself pretty computer literate but I'm not real sharp on the hardware end of it. I just bought a HP laptop, model ZV6130US with an AMD 64 3200+ processor which is supposed to be running at...
