kdog Posted July 7, 2007 Thanks for the tip on the BIOS clearing. I usually try to do that anyway - reset BIOS, clear CMOS, use single DIMM for initial boot. Great info on this board! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdog Posted July 7, 2007 One more question - are any of you Opteron folks running XP x64, or are you all on Vista already? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
momoceio Posted July 8, 2007 You'll find that about 99% of us are running XP still. Better to fight a known evil than an unknown evil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coors Posted July 8, 2007 Not a lot of people run xp64. Mostly because of crappy driver support. I've ran xp32 and Vista64 on both my current rig and my old Opty rigs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Voltes-5 Posted July 8, 2007 Same here, I ran XP64 on my Expert/Opty for the 4gb's of Ballistix. I have it entered on the OCDB, but did not see any noticeable increase performance. Still using xp32 on my Opty and C2D gaming rig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest element Posted July 8, 2007 Yeah I still have XP64. Only sticking with it because I'm poor :tooth: I need a new VGA. Saving for the 8800GTS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kdog Posted July 9, 2007 Opty 165 on the way! Thanks guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyLuciano Posted July 12, 2007 Same for me... opty 170 is on the way... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yetterben Posted July 12, 2007 so what opty is better than an x2 4400+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
custom_coms Posted July 13, 2007 They all probably overclock higher than the X2 The question is how hard do you want to push your board? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyLuciano Posted July 13, 2007 I get this Opteron 170 for 111€ and the x2 4400 costs about 149€ over here. This is why I choose this Opteron... just because of the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
