I tried installing the 64-bit version of Beta 1 of Windows 7-- got 3/4 of the way through setup, it told me that Windows could not be installed on this hardware, exited. No details given on what was incompatible. Had to restore XP from a Ghost backup. CPU is Athlon X2 5050e, motherboard is...

Howdy all, I have been considering buying a copy of winxp 64. I am currently running an FX-51 processor with 2 Raptor 36 GB HDs in a RAID 0 array (Winxp pro). I am considering creating a dual boot system with winxp pro on one HD and winxp 64 on the other. I really only want to be able to play...

While viewing the 2nd DVD disc of Star wars III (behind the scens makings). I was wondering. What kind of computers they used to process the graphics and animation for the movie? Apples Suns (Alpha Sparc) Silicon Graphics or Intel based

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...

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...

Microsoft has suggested that only a 64 bit processor will run HD DVD's on Vista. I assume that the Dual Core Intel piece is 32 bit and the Dual Core 2 is a 64 bit piece. Will Vista be a dual 32/64 bit OS or will a high cost and poorly supported 64 bit version be in the pipeline? Richard.

Hello, I'm thinking about building a new system in about 1 month. I'd like a good motherboard that can support x2 939, crossfire, has 8 rear usb ports and preferably has 2 gigabit nics on board. I see many that have 4 front and 4 rear usb but I'd like one with 8 usb rear and the only systems...

Does anyone have an idea what is the best motherboard as far as compatibility for the AMD 64 processors? I am considering between Asus and MSI. -- Scott

I recently upgraded my system and decided to try out a Amd processor instead of the Intel processor. I will show you what is in my system below ,, but i upgraded from a Celeron 1.7 processor and i find that this system is now much slower since upgrading to the AMD. I use this system mainly for...

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...

First the public beta installed fine, but I got my hands on the RTM win64 from 2 different sources on 2 different brands of cd-r on 2 different cd burners however ever both copies complain about wrong dbgeng.dll I skipped it to let the install continue but as I right this the install is about done,...

Want a 939 board unsure of brand yet. Appropriate CPU and ram. Used to run Intel 2.8, so I am looking at that level or higher. Do I understand that the N350 boards are being replaced with N4 boards? Differences?

As a follow up to an earlier question, what experiences have the folks had with overclocking the various speeds of the 90nm Winchester AMD 64 CPU? The most readily available parts are the 3000, 3200 and 3500 models. Several websites I have reviewed show good performance for the 3200+, but I would...

Just about to upgrade. Most common brands here are Asus, Gigabyte and MSI. Any problems with these? Any preferences? Thanks -- Derek

Hi All! This is my first foray into PCs, having been a Mac user for a long time but tired of paying big prices for hardware :-) Anyway, on the *advice* of others I purchased a AMD64 2800+ CPU matched with a Gigabyte GA-K8VT800 motherboard. For two days the machine ran sweet, then suddenly...

If you want to discuss operating systems, you should put OT: in the subject line, or find the appropriate NG, as this is not an OS newsgroup. It is a hardware newsgroup. This is: alt.comp.HARDWARE.amd.x86-64 Thank you

Hi Folks, Have been playing about with PC's for 25 years just as a hobby, and am completely addicted. I want to buy the Athlon 64 FX53, am ready to order. One thing is stopping me and I hope you can help. I haven't a clue what registered ram is? It say's in most reviews of the Evesham PC the firm...
