Hello, I want to upgrade my Acer Aspire M1100 with a new CPU. The old one is an Athlon 64 4000+ and I bought an Athlon X2 5000+ to replace it. Unfortunately, the BIOS doesn't recognize it and the latest BIOS ACER provides can't be written by AWDFLASH: "The program file's part number does not...

Is there any benefits loading XP 64bit version instead of normal 32bit XP? It seems driver support is less than complete. I only have 1GB of RAM in my AMD64 3500+ system, so do not need the extended memory addressing. Is there any other benefit of a 64bit operating system? or is it snake oil?

Hello all, I am looking to spend around $400 on a cpu/motherboard bundle. I will be running gentoo linux with an nvidia card so I am assuming a motherboard with an nforce3 250 chipset is preferrable... Are there any good reasons for spending the extra $50 or so for the 3200+ over the 3000+ (besides...

I've got a good running Intel-based system (P4 3.0 on and Intel 875PBZ main board, a gig of OCZ RAM and an ATI 9500 PRO 128 Mb video card) but I've become intrigued with swapping the board and CPU for AMD based setup just because everyone says they simply run better. Hell, I'll take the plunge...

I have a Venice Core processor, AMD 64 3200 and I've just recently installed an Nvidia 7800gt (6800gt was my previous card) video card into my pc. I was wondering if the processor was up to making the best of this card. Should I go for a higher speed processor like the AMD 64 3800 or maybe go for...

I have to make a decision on a new computer, and would appreciate some advice. I'm definitely not any kind of hardware or software expert, so please forgive the newbie tone to my questions. I'm I scientist and I do a variety of different kinds of computationally intensive crunching on large (i.e....

I recently invested in an ATI Radeon X850 Pro. I am now going to build a new AMD 64 system. I found this Biostar (n4) mobo on the internet, http://store.yahoo.com/directron/nf4ula9.html Does anyone have an opinion as to the quality of this mobo? Does anyone know if the X850 will work on it? Any...

I have a 4600 X2, what would be a good air cooler for it beside the stock one that comes with it? My idle temp is 46 C and running WoW, its 53-54 C. Are these good temps?

Intel has just announced a new chip which does not support virtualization or trusted execution. Will AMD announce a similar Athlon64 chip for those of us who regard virtualization as a security problem? Thanks. Dave Feustel Intel will add one more 45nm desktop processor to its E8000 family in...

I currently run an AM2 Sempron 3000+ @ 1.8Ghz on a Gigabyte GA-M55plus-S3G m/board. I have been having some hassles with the overclocking settings, I currently run it at around 2Ghz without a hassle, running at/under 40 degrees Celcius. I'm sure that it will run faster, but I'm not 100% sure on...

I think I've finally gotten temp readings that reflect what my temps should be, 42c at idle never above 60c at full load. I have Speedfan 4.38b reporting the cpu temp at the same temp as the bios, while core temp 99.5 shows core 0 and core 1 as about 4c higher. My question: Should the core...

With the AM2 due out very soon I am thinking about upgradig. I dont really wanna spend much so should I just go wtih the 939 and 3800 x2 or the am2 verrion and spend more on pci express video card and memory? Casue I love my 6600 vid card. Who knows I shoudl just buy parts slowly and do that to...

Have been taking a look at the AM2 processors. What's the big deal? Is there a major performance jump for AM2 chips? Clock speeds are roughly the same. Architecture isn't that much different. DDR2 is no advantage, is it?

I've paid for an AMD tri-core processor today for a pc I'm building for someone, buying a bit at a time. This is an AM3 socket processor. I see that there are plenty of motherboards available already with AM3 sockets, but I know that my own pc has an AM3 type processor in an AM2+ socket with I...
