CPU-Z not recognize new core.... (NEW PROBLEM!)

[BUrassler]

NEW PROBLEM: Need help, a few posts down...

I just replaced a s754 3000+ Newcastle with a s754 3000+ Venice. CPU-Z used say right on its display that it was a newcastle, but it is not reading off the new core as a venice. Is this a problem? What can I do about it?

Here is an image of CPU-Z


Thanks,

Yea, but now Prime95 wont run, and I think the chamge, with things like SSE3 are screwing with it. I may have to either repair install or reformat.... I am not happy! Anyone have any ideas?

hahahaha,

Why dont you also download the new version of Prime95.

That shoulda work

I got prime95 to run now after a repair install, but I dont know if the CPU instructions are being fully utalized. How can I check if SSE3 and any other new instructions are working?

You're oc'ing? Set your bus to 200 for now and see if that fixes anything.

After installing AMD's CPU drivers, make sure you have the /USEPMTIMER flag specified in your BOOT.INI.

Meaning it should look something like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Windows XP Media Center Edition" /FASTDETECT /NOEXECUTE=OPTOUT /USEPMTIMER

Otherwise, the drivers change how the windows API calls QueryPerformanceCounter and QueryPerformanceFrequency work, which breaks most video recording applications and some other multimedia stuff as well.

/USEPMTIMER makes those APIs revert to the normal way.
