Do I need processor drivers ?

Any benefit from install😀ing the Athlon 64 processor drivers?

I had not built a machine in almost 4yrs, so I was out of the loop and mildy intimidated.But after reading the guides and following the forums for a couple of weeks, I took the plunge
and started an Epox 9npa+ Ultra based computer. I have never had a smoother, more pleasent build. Great MB. I appreciate all the helpful shared knowledge.

Athlon 64+ 3500

nice board, the only thing i think the 64 drivers are for is if you are running a 64bit os.... but other than that they are not necessary as far as i am aware.
 
Yes you should. They let the operating system control the processor speed based on computational demand - power-saving when idle, full speed when there's demand for processing power. "Cool&Quiet" by AMD's marketing terms.
