From an XP 2000 to an X2 5000

[Pederv]

Upgraded a friend and his wife from an XP 2000 on a KT333 chipset to an X2 5000 on a 770 chipset.

Had a little problem with the DDR2 dimms aligning correctly in the socket, which caused the system not to post or give BIOS beeps. Fixed that and installed Win XP.

I left while Win XP was doing the updates, so I don't know if they've a chance to "test drive" the system.

It's about 5X faster.

Love was when I upgraded my 22 year old daughter from a PIII 800 to an X2 4400

I still have a place in my :heart: for X2 4400's... Can you remember those days?

X2 5000+ will plow through a XP 2000+ without fail.

Yeah how did we ever manage? I mean that's so 2006

The internet will be a whole new experience...

even just web surfing will be easier. I have an e6750 @ 3.4 at home, an opteron 180 @ 2.4 at home, and an Athlon xp 2200 here at work. The work computer absolutely sucks, even for simple web surfing and minor multi-tasking.

I still am using mine.

My socket 939 3800+ is still going strong, although it's motherboard is not... For day to day tasks, it is still fantastic. Only reason I'd want to upgrade is for gaming.

 

[bryanW1995]

what is that, 2.4 ghz with 512mb L2? that is still very good for day to day operations. in most scenarios you won't even miss having more cores, either.
