ISSA2000 Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 It will work with all Dual Core X2's, Opterons, and there are rumors it even works with Intel Dual Core Duo's. All X2 cpu's are the same btw, all of them are Athlons;) so it does not mater wher you download it from the amd web site. it the same dual core software- posted in different drivers in the amd web site. cool. 1 piece software for all dual core software. i thaugh because it was in a different loation under a different cpu type it would not work with my cpu. thanks. ill give it a try. i have a program that causes the problem after 4 hours (cpu clock) unless i run in under 1 cpu only, i think it the way it does the call. (programming wise) maybe thil will redirect the old way of calling (programming) and redirect it in the new way . it will only take 4 hours to test if thes new fix works. ill get back to you will my resaults. cpu clock get the cpu clock via the (TSC) timestampcounter call. and display the cpu clock onscreen without using any cpu time. if i run it on both cpu,s (even with hotfix etc) after 4 jours of being idel or otherwise, it goes out of wack, showing the cpu clock (2400 for my cpu) going up and down 200+ mhz per second. this causes slowdowns in games, and connection problems. (with the ms hotfix off) its worst, but if i run it on 1 cpu , no problems.. 1 test 4+ hours with new version of cpu clock has passed (no poroblems now with optimizer) will test with older version of cpuclock. v1.20) ill get back to you.... ill need to test for 5+ hours. looking good so far... finished test with old version, it works it has fix the problem. 7 hours testing and the program that (even with hotfix+amd cpu) still had the problem - now does not have it any more.... this is great. the only way i could use the program was to use xp luncher and load it with 1 core-cpu , but now (with the hot fix - no amd driver) and the optimizer it works.. test details.. (cpu clock) old + new version (uses old tsc call) caused problem visible after 4+ hours) idel or otherwise. hot fix on and active acpi ms cpu drivers (default cpu drivers) amd cpu drivers off cool n quiet off. system is now clocked to 2700 (246 fsbx11 1.55v) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotamd Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 I'll have to try this out when I get back to my dual-core rig. It does sound very interesting...particularly if it can help in HL2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted July 5, 2006 Posted July 5, 2006 All the dual core patches are only for the Service Pack 2 right? If so i'll have installed SP2. Is this a true statement? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
railmeat Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 Armed with this information maybe I won't be so hesitant to go dual core when prices drop after all there dropped---> http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1020827 165 here tommorow...all 1mb or 2mb cache chips:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ryn Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Just a quick question regarding this topic. I usually install the AMD Drivers and MS Hotfix prior to installing the chipset drivers on a fresh install. My question is, if I install this driver do i need to install this one first before installing the chipset drivers or vice-versa? Also, do I need to do the regedit and install the MS Hotfix with this driver? Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
yfital Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 ah, from what i understand, you shouldnt install the mshot fix now... only the new amd drivers and the optimizer... as for chipset, to be honest, i dont think the order matters.

wevsspot Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 Well, I took an existing WindowsXP Pro SP2 rig and upgraded from single core to dual core. Installed the AMD dual core processor driver and dual core optimizer months after my chipset drivers were installed and haven't noticed any ill effects. So I'd say that installation order will not be a problem one way or another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbeaver Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 hmm this is starting to get on my nerve to get me to install XP again..... *currently on Vista* maybe i should try anyway? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted August 14, 2006 Posted August 14, 2006 All bets are off for Vista. I have no idea how the Dual Core Driver or Dual Core Optimizer will play with that. Maybe partition your hard drive and do a dual boot machine until you confirm whether it works or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
