Bâshrat the Sneaky

Example: 1. Currently an a64 is the only processor with the native HW tech. to prevent many worms/hack-attacks (resulting from memory overruns). 2. Since a 64-bit platform can transfer data much quicker, BLAH-BLAH-BLAH...... it can render faster, carry out scientific processing quicker, install OSes sooner, etc. @ Alanoll: sorry, but I really didn't get the point... Okay, I think I'm getting the point: NOT compare ONLY unique features or areas where it excells (if this word exists ) Then I think you've collected about everything, not? EDIT: NX (non execution feature) Cool 'n Quiet heat dissipation & power consumption support for all instruction sets except for SSE3 (comin with the 90 nm A64) ... and lots of things I forgot....

:s Perhaps you first have to uninstall the device in device manager? (Just guessing)

Have you read the tutorial? http://unattended.Msfn.org Check the Device Drivers section

fixed em for ya. Back to the topic in general.... Why is everyone giving him advice like he was buing the thing? This one is better because, this one is better here. He said he wanted ways to demonstrate that it was better, not reasons why it was better. Demonstrating it is better, isn't that quite the same as saying: "you'd better buy THAT CPU because it's better here, the other CPU is better there" I mean: how would YOU explain it? (Or am I being such an id*** not understanding what your point is?)

I guess it is because you forgot one backslash (/) , in the first quote.

It's clear that you've been thinking about this! Personally I really think it has potential!

mobile overclocks better mobile is cooler mobile consumes less

Bargoens? WTF Wat zit jij nou te lullen enneuh wat betekent 'beseibelen'?

Long reply, but did you look at the link I gave?

I think it's a great idea! But in fact I'm wondering how you wanted to keep this list updated? All by hand? Then it'd be almost equal to a fulltime job... Also: are you mirroring all these files? Cause downloading all of them from their respective sites, would take hours I think (in case you don't have an extremely fast internet connection and/or you've added 20+ programs to this list). Perhaps also an option to download this from a network server? But then we'd need another system to do this. (this could be great when you've got to install for example more computers a day, cause downloading all these updates twice or more...)

You could try this topic: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=21155 Did you search the forum before posting?

IMO it should work. Why couldn't you verify it? remark: make sure chipset drivers get installed before GPU drivers!

@Radimus: thank you @m4dh0: Added. Thank you

-You're asking for POSITIVE comments on the Athlon 64 - "why is it superior". -The answer to that is quite simple IMHO: there is (I think) NO superior CPU. Why: because each CPU (or most of them) are excelling in a couple of benchmarks, another CPU in other benchmarks. You've got to choose the CPU that 'fits' you: for what do you use your computer? And: what's your budget? *Price/performance: there's no CPU that can beat AMD Athlon XP Mobile processors ON DESKTOP MOTHERBOARDS, by which I mean when they're overclocked. E.g.: AMD Athlon XP Mobile 2600+, 100€ runs easily at 2.6-2.8 GHz with decent air cooling. Which gives it the performance of about a P4 3.2 GHz (270€) / Athlon 64 3200+ (220€) As you can see, nothing comes close to this CPU, price/performance wise. Winner: AMD Athlon XP Mobile, if only looking to desktop CPU's the regular Athlon XP *choosing a CPU for a specific task: as you all might know, a couple of months ago AMD couldn't beat Intel in video encoding/rendering benchmarks. They even didn't come close! By now, this has changed: AMD's Athlon 64 3800+ is leading the benchmarks now! (note: of course the FX-53 is slightly faster, but as this is a server CPU, I didn't choose this one) Winner: AMD Athlon 64 *dissipated heat, power consumption: Of course Mobile CPU's are doing better in this one, but I'll leave them out of this. I think we've got again a clear winner: Athlon 64 has a great feature, better known as Cool 'n Quiet. This superb function makes sure you're only using the CPU speed (so also the needed power and heat dissipation) you actually need! This function may help to shrink your energy bill! Winner: AMD Athlon 64 *prolly I forgot alot of things Conclusion: -if you're a normal user or a power user that's quickly satisfied, go for a Athlon XP or Athlon XP Mobile. -if you've got enough (or too much) money, buy a Athlon 64 as it outranges a Pentium 4 in almost everything! hope this is useful... EDIT: longest reply ever

Oops? Sounds like it is sold against your will?!? ??? I'm working with 1 GHz and it's working fine! Well, good luck with whatever you have to do. No, I WANTED to sell it As I only have to pay relatively less to get a much faster PC! Well, this is a laptop with crappy AV, which slows down the entire system... grtz

@Radimus: Thank you for the info! But where can I download it? Cause I've got NO clue at all where I could possibly find it... @Kenny McCormick: It's added to the list. Thank you for your contribution!

1. Please specify what motherboard you have. A BIOS update might solve this problem. 2. - S0 - S1 standby - S2 standby - S3 standby - S4 hibernation - S5 poweroff still searching for other Sx... EDIT: found it: http://www.osronline.com/lists_archive/ntdev/thread2956.html

now that is good advice, and I think I may just do that with my 1TB of hdd space. Can you imagine how hard it is to fill that thing? Very hard. Well, it seems you've got plenty of hdd space. You can always send me one of your harddisks, I can fill them for you if you want . P.S.: I'll pay the transport costs! Edit: 500 posts!

Yes Sorry, forgot you've got such a guide too... Hope you don't hate me for that?

Of course that's the problem! An emulator is meant to emulate hardware. In this case it doesn't emulate a nVidia Graphics Card, which is why it isn't working... Create another partition on your hdd and install it there. Works faster and you'll be sure it's working! EDIT: Welcome!

Atm I'm busy with a website: 1. translation of the great guide of MSFN.org 2. driverpacks 1. is 50% finished But the largest issue: my pc is sold... And I can't access my SATA hdd from any other hdd so I can't proceed with my work... My dad's laptop is only fast enough for DreamWeaver, impossible to work with 1.5 GB of data fast enough and TOTALLY IMPOSSIBLE to compress it with this sh*t: 2.2 ghz celeron with 256 MegaBytes of RAM I was busy with totally re-editing the Audigy drivers. That was +-50% complete. Realtek 3.61 was already added. I can't promise any date, but I DO promise I'll do it ASAP! grtz & thx for the support

So you speak/understand a bit of Dutch? Count me in for Dutch Windows!

Q: When do I post? A: After searching with google...

But probably there are newer drivers... However, I guess it'd be okay if it works!
