jago_lfn Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Not sure if this is in the right place but I'm wondering if the athlon 64 driver thats on amd's site and abit's site is really needed at all? I installed it long time ago but it seemed to make my pc sluggish and run slow and a friend of mine said that the cool'n'quiet option in the bios wouldnt mean anything unless I installed the driver is xp, so is this true or what? Should i add this to my nlite cd and use it from now on to make sure the cool'n'quiet works right or just go without it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Ripken, our computer hardware genius here, claims that the driver is absolutely necessary and that without it, most of his single-core games crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havent had nothing crash on me yet so i'm guessing i dont need it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Would it hurt to add it? I don't think so. Just add it and you can be sure you're safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jago_lfn Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 Added it in and did a fresh install. Looked in system properties now my cpu reads at 992mhz. Everything like firefox takes a bit to load now. Is this normal? I'm starting to wonder why this driver even exists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
