    Athlon II X2 Question

    Thanks for the replies. I'll just do a fresh install once it's all put together, upgrade to SP3, and run some benches to see if I'm getting the right numbers. Then maybe try those AMD drivers on another fresh install and compare.

    Athlon II X2 Question

    I'm running Win XP Pro SP3 32bit with an Athlon II X2 250 and an AMD 760G/710SB AM3 motherboard. Does anyone know if I need to install "AMD Processor Driver Version 1.3.2.0053 for Windows XP -- 08/31/2007" and "AMD Dual-Core Optimizer Version 1.1.4 -- 07/31/2008"?

    Proper Windows XP installation steps?

    Some drivers require DX 9.0c or later be installed before updating, i.e. GPU drivers and audio drivers. Should I just disregard that?
