| | Not too long ago i got myself an AMD 64 X2 Dual Core +3800 chip. IT wasn't until last week when i noticed that my Windows XP Pro SP2 is reading it as "AMD Hammer Family Processor - Model Uknown"
Is there anyway i can get windows to recognize me chip right? OR does it even matter? I just wondering to make sure my PC is clocking at what it's supoosed to.
by the way im new to Astahost. Thought i'd give it a shot = )

first off I hate to ask but I have to, are you running a legit copy of windows, also have your run all the windows updates? The reason I'm asking is that in some cases the problem with windows not recognizing processor properly is that windows is missing some key component updates. Also make sure your running the newest drivers for your mobo, it sounds to me like your not running the proper/upto date drivers.

In my experience a wrong setting in your bios could make your windows see your processor as something else.. I had it with an amd sempron 2800+ for somereason my bios had set the clockspeed way low and my xp thought it was just an AMD with 1400 mhz.. When i adjusted my clockspeed in the bios it reconized the processor.

I doesn't realy matter if windows knows what cpu type you have, it doesn't realy have optimalisations built in for it, so don't worry. But ... AMD A64 cpu's need a driver so that the QnC function works under XP. Drivers can be downloaded here: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/Techni...71_9706,00.html . Look for "AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (exe) 1.3.1"

AMD Processor Query
(7) Hi, The computer that i purchased almost a year ago has an AMD Sempron 2800+ processor. Can someone
tell me whether this processor is 64bit or not. I know that it is definitely not a dual core but im
not as sure about the 64bit. I have used CPU-Z to get some info about my system and its reports
that the processor instructions are x86-64! does that mean 64bit? The other info that CPU-Z gave to
me about my processor are below. Family: F Ext. Family: F Model: C Ext Model: 1C Stepping: 0

Help, My Laptop Charger Is Not Working Properly
(17) I have a HP Pavilion laptop. I bought it about 2-3 years ago. I try to plug in the charger end to
my laptop and it does not start charging. I can take the back off of it, plug the charger in, and
it works fine. I think that something is pushing back (in the laptop) and causing the connections
not to touch. I would fix it myself, but I would have to take a lot of my laptop apart just to fix
it. I do not feel comfortable doing that myself. My questions are: What is your suggestion to
fix this? Has anyone else experienced this problem? If I took it to someone, ho....

Is The Processor Everything / Good For Gaming ?
Is it the best thing for gaming? (14) Hi, i've got a dell dimension 3000 computer. I wanted to upgrade the motherboard so it could fit
a PCI-e graphics card. Unfortunatly, i found that the dimension 3000 doesn't take well to be
fitted with another motherboard. Im running with a Geforce FX 5200 128MB graphics card, and wonder
if i shouldn't just upgrade the CPU from a celeron D 2.53 Ghz to a Pentium 4 3.2Ghz HT. Is the
Geforce FX not good enough for gaming, or will it be ok and i can then just upgrade my cpu?

Cooling the Processor
(17) The last thread i had posted was about the underclocking the processor, as said by Cloak it can be
done. So I assume it makes the computer run slow, as well as also prevents it from getting heated
up (except when the load is Full). But there are still many ways to cool the processor without
using the HARDWARE cooling devices.. most of them are like, programs which claim can cool the
processor. What do you think, do they really work? Can they screw up something ? Some say that
those are not recommended? I have heard of Waterfall. It is also a small program which can co....
