similar to: Amd-v which processor for virtualization

Hello to all, For those evaluating the AMD X2 4200+ series for the purposes of running HVM guests, take a note below before purchasing if the server you are purchasing happens to be made by HP. There is an oddball version (apparently OEM sold to HP) which does *not* support AMD-V technology. I''ve seen many of these on e-bay as well as for sale / lease by popular co-location facilities.

Hi all, Is it ok to use the i686 kernel in an AMD Sempron or should I be using another? regards tom

Hi all, I want to buy a processor that will be good for gaming in Wine in FreeBSD. I see that many game engines are starting to take advantage of multi-core systems, however it appears that multi-threaded applications are not distributed properly across multiple cores (Ex: Starcraft II - http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=20882 ). So I'm not sure if I should aim

All, I have a new box. Gigabyte motherboard AM2 sempron 3200+. CentOS installed fine, I rebooted after the install. It booted fine again. I ran yum -y update and now after that on boot it says Initializing hardware Storage network audio done Disabling IRQ #193 and then nothing. just sets there.... Any ideas on that??? Jerry

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello all, which AMD CPU ist usable for a HVM-Install? Do I need a AMD X2 or FX CPU / Windsor, or is the Orleans Athlon 64 also usable?

I have a desktop unit with a sempron 2500+ to play with. doing "more /proc/cpuinfo" indicates cpu Mhz as1044 not the 2500 I am familiar with cpuspeed. doing ps ax | grep cpuspeed resulting in nothing. I did service cpuspeed start. No errors reported. ps ax | grep cpuspeed resulted in nothing. I was going to do "killall -SIGUSR1 cpuspeed" to attempt to get 2500+ cpu speed. I

Agreed: Should have read "socket A" semprons, since these are the most common currently although rapidly disappearing... >*1* type of Sempron is an Athlon XP processor, the Socket-462 >versions.

Hello everyone! Working on putting a storage server together and wanted to get some input as to what motherboards have been working for people with the 3ware 9650SE-12ML raid board. This is large, bulk storage, 2-tier stuff. This will not be used for realtime editing of video or something, but a gig nic is almost a given I hope. I have an AMD chip available (AM2 slot) but I can get a new chip

Hi all,<br> <br> So I am new here (both using Solaris and also posting on this forum) and I need<br> some advice.<br> I have a plan on making a machine set up as a Network Storage Server and I just<br> want some of your recommendations and opinions on how to go about this.<br> <br> I do a lot of video editing of DV files and want to be able to store them

I have just bought Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, which runs beautifully on my XP install, but on my ubuntu9.04-wine/stable install it runs very very very jerkily. Unreal tornaument works better in wine thanit does on windows so yeah. And ideas how to improve the performance? Ive done the directx registry edits, not much of a change.

I know this is a bit OT, but the subject of CPU speed came up here and I was (and have been for some time) curious: What is the actual speed of an AMD CPU? E.g., I have a Athlon 64 X2 "4200+" but my /proc/cpuinfo shows 1005.164 MHz for the two cores. What do those mean? Is there a reference for this (huge) discrepancy? Also, is there a way (and what) to tell what the actuall running

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I''m currently using xen-3.0.2-testing on several servers.

Hi All, I had a box centos5 AMD64 X2 4200+, Asus motherboard, Nvidia 7100 video card, 512M, when playing a video at 1080p it did well but had a couple times went out of sync. So amd dropped its price and I got a 5200+, gigabyte motherboard, Nvidia 7100 video card, 512M. This FASTER system is actually slower. The video is WAY behind on sync. I have looked at the X config they are the same. I
