when is best to install the dual core driver for the X2\OPTERON after installing windows?

[hclarkjr]

i plan on doing a clean install of windows that will have my chipset driver integrated into windows then install the dual core driver, will this be ok?

What exaclty is this driver for?

Windows see the X2/Opterons just fine? My new 165 is working great.. primeing at 2.6 right now Had it install for 2 now

AMD's website says this:
Allows the system to automatically adjust the CPU speed, voltage and power combination that match the instantaneous user performance need.

For Overclock system it sounds like a bad idea to install driver (right?)

For a Normal stock clock system it would be a good driver to install.

What you guys think?

*edit* i haven't played anygames withit yet, as i don't have much time normal school

go to XS forums and look in the AMD section. there is a simple tutorial on installing the X2 driver, MS hotfix and registry keys associated with it. I just installed it tonight and don't really see a difference yet.

it's easily applied and removed at any time without much impact. read the entire thread- it's interesting.

I thought the driver was for the purpose of using the cool-n-quiet feature in XP...If you install windows clean from bootup it should see the dual core and configure everything just fine...comments?
