A64 X2 and XP home...

[imported_Ratman]

Right i understand it will work the thing I am trying to understand from post articles will I get the benefit of the dual core system ?

Depends on what you do. If you just look at the desktop, you wont benefit from a second core.

XP home will handle a dual core the same way that XP pro does, there will be no performance differance..

No, if you install the driver and the hotfix, it works fine.

Yes, XP Home fully supports the X2, Opteron dual core, & Pentium D processors.

I'm getting ready to build my first X2 system (WinXP pro)

can you help me with links or instructions about this hotfix and driver? (I hear them mentioned but don't know where to look for details.

Thanks!

The X2 driver is on the AMD site, do a search. The MS hotfix I have not needed to install it, but if I do, I will do a search, as I have seen it linked to before here.

If you are not a half-wit like the guy above the glitches should be sparce to non existent....


sell the damn thing already fatty and go get yourself a P-D and STFU...I have kept quiet recently but you never know when to quit...


I am going to start a school for incompetent computer users such as yourself....I probably could setup your system and have no problems....I have discounts from kansas state fans since I know they have some inherent disadvatages...Haha LOL!!!!

found them

Sounds like the hotfix won't be necessary if Dynamic overclocking is disabled (which it will be for me)

Thanks again... you saved me a lot of time chasing down that download of the driver.
