AMD Dual Core question
I have a MSI K8N Neo4 mobo that I was planning on using to build a new
machine to replace my wife's P3. This board is for Athlon64 cpus, which I was intending to use, but there is a BIOS upgrade for dual core support and since AMD dual core processors have dropped dramatically in price, I was thinking about going the dual core route. Will my build boot with a dual core cpu just recognizing it as a single core processor? TIA, Wayne

If I had friends, they would tell you.

The answer to your question about how is.....magic of course. -- WooHoo2You
