:D:D My Athlon is stable now, no hardware was broken, people who have had the same problem read this.

I found a link to a page on AMD's homepage, forgot the link, sorry.

Its just a single .reg file what fixes some problem with AGP and Athlons. So just copy this text to notepad and save it as .reg and run the reg file. WORKS 😀😀😀😀😀😀 For Win2000 btw.



Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management]
"LargePageMinimum"=dword:ffffffff
 
I can confirm this one. I was having tons of lockups with my Classic Athlon 700MHz on the Epox EP-7KXA using my TNT2U when playing Half-Life under Win2k. After this patch, I can play without lockups for hours. Funny that the issue has been Microsoft all along and no one, not Nvidia, not VIA, not Tom's Hardware and not even Anand discovered this issue. Oh well, it seems to be over for now.
 
That's a pretty elegant fix, one line of code 🙂

My only complaint is that the link is almost impossible to find by normal navigation of AMD's site. You have to get the link from somewhere besides AMD's site, which is pretty stupid considering it would take them 2 seconds to add it to their FAQ or driver list.

That's really a bitch *kjm... Sometimes I think people only read their own questions over and over again... 🙂

By the way, I've been around a bit longer than "junior member" implies, but I changed my nick to the one I usually use on the Internet (you know, the thing you plug your computer into)...
 
Does this apply for Thunderbirds too?

edit: possibly a stupid question, but I still call a tb a tb and an athlon an athlon 🙂
 
It fixes random lockups and some of the issues that most people have seen running AGP video cards on an Athlon/VIA based system under Windows 2000.
