Last night I put together 4400+ ABit Fatal1ty SLI 4GB DDR400 Extreme Performance MSI 6800 PCI-E16 and it is FAST (much faster than my 3200+ 1M/754). The BIOS had not been updated for dual core so the ABit only saw one cpu that it listed as "AMD Hammer Family - Model Unknown", but flashing went...

I bought a system from a distributor. First the motherboard wouldn't make any cdrom drive work, whether new or used or cdrom or cdrw. Any hard drive would work on this motherboard. Changed ram Changed harddrives Changed cables changed cd drives. Nothing would make the motherboard make a cdrom work.

Hi all. I just bought an AMD64 3400 CPU. So, I installed SUSE and it all works great. However, on bootup the BIOS says that the CPU is only 2400 MHZ. Also, in Suse, the sysmonitor shows the MHZ at 2403. The only thing that displays my CPU speed as 3400 is MySQL Admin Console. Have I been...

I'm building a system and am looking for some advice. I'm torn between a system with an Athlon 64 3400 but with integrated video or one an Athlon 64 2800 processor and a ATI All in Wonder 9600 video card. What's the performance difference between a 2800 and 3400? Is it noticeable? What's the...

Hi all: I am building my first AMD machine and have an ASUS A8N-E MOBO and an Athlon processor. I have heard the Asus board is very finicky about power and I have an Antec SL400 supply. Does anyone know if this supply will be good for this board? In the board docs it says "ATX Power supply (with...

Hello, I am looking for a good and not too pricey motherboard to run 2 or 4 AMD 64 X2 (or dual-core Opterons, if AMD 64 is not an option). The goal is to have 4 or 8 actual processors in a desktop system. Any suggestions? Thanks, Arno

I just found this forum and I sure am glad. I could use some help from you experienced AMD users, if you would. Been running an XP 1800+ system for about 5 years. The processor has been getting hot for the past few months and finally gave up the ghost a few days ago, after running practically 24/7...

I was hovering on the purchase button for Battlefield2 and noticed that it says Windows XP (32-bit) in the system requirements. Does anyone have this running successfully in WinXP 64? --JM

A friend has bought a new A64 3000+ and a Socket 939 MSI board. He was told he needed to upgrade to PC3200 ram by the salesman even though he had some older PC2100 ram from his current system which he had wanted to transfer. Salesman said it'll complain. I was saying sure it'll be a performance...

I'm looking into upgrading my system, on the cheap. I've seen an ECS nForce4, Socket 939 board (combo with an Athlon 64 3000+, 256Meg). 1) Is ECS not worth buying? 2) Is 'dual channel' a function of the board, or the RAM, or both? I'm trying to go cheap, but I at least want to get what I'm...

My friend was building a new 64-bit rig and he wanted to know what ram to use. I said he probably needed ddr2, but to my surprise I can't find a single board that supports it. Are there any 64-bit chipsets that support ddr 2 yet? If no, when are they coming as I really haven't heard...

Hi, I just purchased an Athlon 64 3000+ Venice core and it is running in an ASUS A8N-E with the boxed cooler installed. ASUS Probe gives me a CPU temp of 28C (ambient is 17C).

I know that Venice and San Diego are newer than the Winchester cores, but when you go to buy one on the web, they are listed as 3000+, 3200+ etc. How can you tell which core you are getting? Lenster

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...
