Guest ElAguila Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I think only those with this problem should install the hotfix. If it ain't broke don't fix it. I have not had any issues playing Doom 3, HL2, FEAR and Brothers in Arms. If you are having a problem then by al means apply the hotfix.

sauria Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I have the 4400 X2 Rev JH-E6 , and I have no problems with CS:S and BF2. What was your Rev? Note/Edit: I did install the AMD CPU drivers last week. Now my MBM does not 'on start-up' always detect the CPU speed correctly now. Oh well, live and learn. I'm not using the C&Q, but had read that the driver needed to be installed (not here, somewheres else, don't remember). I noticed this too. I have jkust re-installed windows (another issue). Do I need the CPU driver on a rev. E6 3800+ X2? Did you notice the driver inproved anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraPickles Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 If it ain't broke don't fix it. I have a Manchester and a Toledo core, neither needed "fixing". Faheyd... there's a setting in MBM to add some seconds to the timer for detecting CPU speed, set it to about 10 and MBM will report the correct speed. Pmorocos... there's also 512K cache Toledo cores where half the cache has been disabled. -pickles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhDrew Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 installing amd driver (and CNQ disable) the amd driver is NOT just for CnQ then install the hot fix PROPERLY and the issue will go away (for the ppl that have issue) for the ppl that do not have issues, good for u. (do not install the stuff mention above if u dont have issues, NONE of them help overclocking and NONE of them will give u more performance) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Gunman Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I am using WinXP X64 SP1 on my 3800+ X2 system and I am seeing the same stuttering problem on BF2 and the acceleration problem on Halo, with the symptoms being that the longer the computer is on the worse it gets. So this is not strictly a 32-bit issue. Unfortunately for me as far as I can tell, there is no hot fix for x64 even though the problem is with a 64 bit processor. So I will have to use the affinity option for now. I find it interesting that the X2 processors with the 1 Meg of cache don't seem to have the problem though. I have the E6 Stepping 3800+ X2. Cpu-Z identifies it as a Manchester Core. However Everest Displays my processor as a Toledo 512. From what I understand there is a transistor count difference in the two cores. 154 Million on the Manchester and 233 million on the Toledo.
