    Athlon64 X2 dual core

    make sure you're running winxp sp2, install the amd x2 driver, play around with the many nvidia drivers(if you got geforece), apply hotfix, and hack the registry. I hope this will fix it until ms or anyone else come out with a permanent solution. i also have a sneaking suspicion that the...

    Athlon64 X2 dual core

    I think this performance issue or having to set affinity is a winxp and gpu driver problem. i don't think it's the cpu itself that's at fault here. i'm going to try uninstalling the 81.84 driver and reinstall it to see if the stutter will go away. 90% of my games are fine except for racing...

    Athlon64 X2 dual core

    could someone please shed some lights for me. in the registry hack, what does PerfEnablePackageIdle do? and should i leave it at 0(off) or 1(on)? i installed the amd x2 driver, applied the hotfix, and added this PerfEnable key. I'm still getting stutter in racing games. This fix did help in...

    everybody is increasing price on the 4400 x2, eventhough 3800 is out and cheaper. seems like the 4400 x2 is still popular. i glad i got it at 572, which isn't cheap either :(.

    you got a valid point there. i was also thinking of the same thing. amd is strategizing on something more important to compete with intel. they assume the avg. joe won't know the difference between a rev. e venice 3200+ vs. a winnie 3200+. amd can careless about us enthusiasts and that's too...

    Will the wait be worth it?

    I'm waiting on the Venice core too. The best to go about this is pre-order. find a place that does pre-order at a reasonable price and put in your order. that way when all etailers get their share of Venice cores, you'll be first in line to get it. I already pre-ordered a 3200+ Venice core...

    yes you can. i used winflash to flash my original bios that came with the dfi sli-d. flashed without a problem. make sure you have all bios settings at default, no ocing period, when flashing. good luck.

    what kind of psu you got? i have an antec 400W with the 20pin connector. i've came to the concensus that i'll need to get the antec 550W true power 24pin psu with 12v rated at 36A. it'll be expensive, but i hope it'll be worth it. the reason for replacing the 400W is that after i turned off...
