Hi, I want to get a new system: mobo/cpu/ram. I am thinking socket 939. I am still deciding what system to get as a result of my old system dying (a7v133/1ghzTbird). Asus A8V Deluxe? Abit A8V? Are there even reviews comparing the 2 mobos side-by-side? I am currently using a backup system so I have...

What is the effect of enabling 32-bit transfers for a Maxtor SATA 150 250 GB HDD that I have installed on this AMD 64 motherboard. Other, than of course, its 32 bits... TIA, p00lb0y

Hi all, I'm getting al kind of errors in windows! Like could'nt "read" or "write" memory. I get it running random applications and games Ok here's my hardware setup Amd 64 3400+ 1Mb Cache MSI Neofis2r

I have a mobile Athlon 64 3200+ in an eMachines m6809 notebook. This machine is booting the voltage to 1.45v instead of the 1.4 it is supposed to. FWIW, I am running Windows XP pro when I notice this. Unfortunately there are no 64-bit drivers for the wireless NIC yet. This didn't used to be a...

Hi all AMD users! All AMD chips are labelled as NNNN+ where NNNN is a four digit number. Say if it's labelled as 2800+ does that mean it's a Pentium 4 equivalent of a 2.8GHz chip? Surely, the 2800+ one doesn't even come near to 2.8GHz if you look at the frequency which is at about 2GHz. Also...

Hello Does anyone know if this in the works for a near future release? If so, which companies are slated to release it first? Thanks in advance.

why don't you check 3dmark website for 3000+ amd cpu benchmark? "Byron Hinson" wrote in message ... Currently I am on a AMD 2100+ CPU system, with Radeon 9600XT graphics card - I get about 3700 mark in 3D Mark 2003. I am...

I just got my computer setup, here is the rundown of what I have: Abit K8V-MAX3 Athlon 64 2800+ 1.0 GB PC3200(2x512) GeForce FX 5900XT Western Digital PATA 250 GB HDD - 100% NTFS - Non Bootable Partition(from another computer) Western Digital SATA 250 GB HDD - 50% FAT32, 50% Nothing

Is there any way to control the CPU clock speed of the Athlon64 in Mandrake 10.0 AMD64 version? If the system comes up from a cold boot the CPU is in Cool and Quiet mode (897MHz) which is where it stays no matter what the load. It's nice and quiet but the performance isn't great. I've been able to...

One thing I've never gotten working thus far is the digidoc LCD display. I know it's supposed to display my CPU temp and all POST codes, but I can't get anything to show up on it. Since I had the Digidoc software installed I can only guess I used the wrong cable to connect it to the system......

PC Mall is selling an Athlon64 system for $1,199 (Cybertron #443255 page 75) Has anyone here purchased this PC or do you all build your own systems? Is it any good? Who manufactures the motherboard? I called the 800 number to ask but the lady who answered didn't know what a motherboard...

Hi all, Another temperature related question. Reading back through this group I can see there has been much discussion regarding this. Anyway I have an AMD 64 3200 with a Gigabyte K8NS Pro motherboard and the CPU runs at 60-65 degrees when nothing (apart from windows) is running. Give the CPU...

Ed, I feel so silly. I told you that the Chaintech VNF3-250 motherboard didn't support Cool n Quiet. That is what the tech support guy at Chaintech told me. However, I just found Cool N Quiet in the BIOS under Power Options (or some such) This is new to the BIOS dated 7/29/2004 that I posted...

My new athlon XP system just got fried.. I have some questions. I've heard the Athlon64 3200+ can beat a P4 3.2 EE in most tests. Is this true, and is there any reason why one would buy the P4 over the A64 other than bias? Also, i'm a bit confused now.. I see A64 3200+ listed at pricewatch.....

It seems to me like socket 754 is on its way out, to be replaced by sockets 939/940. From what I've read it is already at the limit of its capabilities, while sockets 939/940 have a lot more potential left. I was considering upgrading my system to a 64-bit processor, but it doesn't seem like 754...

Does anybody know a group or a server with groups on AMD64 Assembly programming? Thanx

Hey there, I have an Athlon64 3000+ sitting in a Chaintech ZNF3-250 Motherboard. What I'm woundering is, if anyone knows if there is an decent 3rd party CPU temp monitor program for that board. I tried out MBM 5 with the latest updates but in only officially supports the ZNF3-150, and when...

Do any of the 939 pin motherboards support ECC?. The 939 pin A64 supports ECC but none of the motherboards seem to mention it and the Crucial site says no ECC for the MSI and Gigabyte boards. I don't see why they would have left an important feature like ECC off since it's essentially free. Is...

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...
