Really Stoked about new Processor but..

[GZFant]

Hello Everyone!

Well, I just bought an Opteron 170 and am now typing to you using it!!!

I am so excited right now!!

Anyway, I have been reading about drivers/hotfixes/optimizations after installing the new processor and was wondering if these things are still happening afterwards?

These two websites (Website 1, Website 2) explain that after loading the driver I need the Microsoft Dual Core Hotfix to run everything properly.

Note, these were way back in the day with Windows SP2 and I have upgraded to SP3. Do I still need a hotfix to run things properly?

I know formatting will be the best, but for now, I just want to make sure it runs correctly.

Thanks again for the help =)
