Drivers

[trigun500]

I had to reinstall XP onto my HP system. I have an AMD X2 3800+ is there a driver or fix I need for it? My PC seems to by lagging/going slow.

Thanks

Have you installed all the latest motherboard drivers you need? Check latest updates as well.

I usually get lags due to no graphics driver or something. Motherboard drivers is usually what causes this problem.

Do a Google search for "AMD Dual Core drivers" and choose the top link. There are 2 drivers you should download and install. I tried to get to the page and send you a link but the page wouldn't load for me.

You asked about CPU drivers...what has that got to do with video drivers?

if you have an HP computer
the HP website will have all the drivers you need including the AMD driver

The lag would make you think it was a CPU issue. When there are no graphics drivers the CPU tends to take a toll because it's trying to do everything.

When you have video drivers, the CPU isn't doing all the work.

I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

Either way, it's a common mistake.

Glad to hear you got it resolved, trigun500
