    64 bit in our lifes poll

    what makes Athlon 64 perform better than Athlon XP in DirecX 8 & 9 applications? It it because A64 calculates natively 64bit floating point format ?

    Really, do operations have the length? What is the differance then?

    A 64 modes- a 32 bit processor actually?

    What I meant was that even if the processors is working in Compatibility Mode ( which is one of the sumode of Long Mode), despite it works with 64 bit OS it still only has 8 32 bit GPRs and 8 128 bit SSE registers as opposed to , relatively 16x64 bit GPRs and 16x 128 SSE register, which work in...

    A 64 modes- a 32 bit processor actually?

    Hi, I continue working on my project, which was mentioned in my previous post here and i ran on some strange conclusions. Takin into consideration all the modes of the Athlon 64 (you can check it out here and here) it turns out that A 64 is not fully an 64 bit processor even when you use...

    64 bit in our lifes poll

    First of all I want to , or rather have to due to the requirements, connect it with interactions with society. Well, at the moment I am describing the principles of the x86-64 architecture. I you analyze it (if you check out the table showing the differance in registers between A-XP and A-64)...

    64 bit in our lifes poll

    I really need a poll to summerise my Extended Essay ( IB diploma, google if you wish:). I am comparing the architecture of 32 bit and 64 bit processors. If any of you could answer the followed questions. Thank you all for the input

    64 bit Era

    Hi, I have 2 more questions. After my tests I noticed that A XP was faster( by aboout 2%) in in CPU ALU (Sandra 2007) and in MUlti Media test (Sandra 2007)(by about 10 %!!!). Do you guys know what can be the reason for that, and how it is related to the architecture of both processors...

    64 bit Era

    thx guys. I just wanted to know whether u need to have a 64 bit system to measure the 64 bit processor potential, since I am doing some serious comparison between A64 and AXP and I was't sure if my test run at Win XP 32 bit are very objective. Now I see it's not necessary, since no body does it.

    64 bit Era

    Hi guys. I have quite an akward question , but lets go on. I haven't been into hardware for the last 2 years and my knowledge stoped at the entry on Venice core on the A64 morket. Recently I have been working on a big school project , and I am comparing the architecture of Athlon XP and...

I have tried to reinstall the application, rebooting, disabeling other applications, but nothing helps...

    Number of frames per second

    I tried many combination to turn on the frames counter in QIII but none of them works, I am really frustrated cause I spent loads of time on that. Not even the a/ nor set commands work. I just realized I actually don't have the UT 2004, which I was gonna use to test DirectX 8. What other...

    nvm, it turned out to be the wrong voltage on the Ram set automatically by Bios..just in case anyone was interested!!

    MSI Neo2 Platinum +OCZ Gold Series pc3200

    Thanks for the support!! Btw I changed the timing in Bios to 2-2-2-5 and everthing works fine. Only one thing troubles me though, why does the cpu-z show the spd timing of my ram as following 2-5.3-3-7? Secondly it reads that my memory is in 1&2 slot whereas it is in 3&4!!?

    Hi ya'll I have just returned from my holidays, where i was away from home for a month. When I came home and turned the computer on i got shocked. On a black screen, before the load of windows, after the sign " Verifying DMI Pool Data" such thing appears: "NTLDR is missing Press any key to...

    is it worth the effort?

    nevermind , i just fixed it. What I had to do was to eneble and then disable the dynamic overclocking in the BIos and the HTT menu became available again!!! Now I am set at 220x9 (HTT 4x) 2.5-3-2-5 at stock cooling at boot it is 40C...seems like I might have got a jucy processor....:D:P

    is it worth the effort?

    I'm afraid I am not understood. I do have some idea how to oc, the problem is that after I cleared the CMOS to default setting I can't lower the HTT!! Once I enter the menu where I should be able to change the HTT, the whole thing is blank and I can't even exit it and have to pres...

    is it worth the effort?

    I increased the FSB to 220 and it was still stable. However, I was "hungry for more power" and I changed latency from 2.5 to 2.0 ( at default 200 Mhz my ram is 2-3-2-5) and after that the computer wouldn't boot. I cleared the CMOS, but something happened to BIos. The option where you get to...

    is it worth the effort?

    Ok, so I did went to Bios.. I couldn't find anything like HTT all I found is HT Frequency (is it the same??) and it droped it from 5x to 4x. Then I increased the FSB up to 215. I also couldn't find the Ram dividers so instead I set the max RAM speed to 200Mhz (However after restart I noticed...

    thanks fpr the link Dkcode. Lanyo, it's not that th esystem won't boot when set beyond 209Mhz, after is set it in CoreCell in Windows it just restarts and then it is set back to 200Mhz.... I will try using all yours tips next week, cause i won't be home for the whole week. I 'll keep yopu...

    is it worth the effort?

    First of all I used my ram when oc ( you can see it in my sig). Secondly i didi it very quickly using Core Cell, not in bios. However it doesn't change the fact that computer restatred evertime is set the FSB to 209. Should I try doing some serous job in Bios along with divider? It shouldn't be...

    ok so my brother yesterday did receive this new computer with A643000+ and MSI K8N Neo2 Platinium in it. I wanted to what is a differance between his setup and mine so i installed my ram and graphic card in his computer. Before I ran the 3dMark 03 i oc his cpu a bit to 1872MHz (208x9, for some...

    How do my scores look

    hmm...Cas Latency 2.5 only...would the CAS Latency 2.0 ram be any faster at this quantity (2x512-I heard the more Ram you have the smaller differance there is seen between cas 2.0 and 2.5 ram)?

    There is a improvement in sound quality when I am listening CD's or MP3 especially when using the Stereo Surround option. Also the Crossfading along with Graphic Equalizer work fine , which is supposed to be exclussive to Audigy 2 ZS. The only con is that i still don't have the 7.1 support...
