Unfortunately, XTU refuses to install on Windows XP. It may be worth a shot to get Windows 7 just to see if that works or not, as if it writes directly to the NVRAM, it may be a single-time thing.

From a bit more than a month ago, I have these two new Hardware pieces:
Motherboard: Supermicro X10SAT
Processor: Xeon E3-1245 V3
As I expect that the first guy that will Post in this Thread...
For my Radeons I had to use Radeon BIOS Editor. Basically, I picked the ROM you save with GPU-Z with that application and modified all the Power States, then flashed the Video Card BIOS with my...
Deneb on anything that isn't Multithreaded beyond 4 Threads should be faster than Zambezi (Bulldozer). And with a Thuban, the FX-81xx was just slighty faster than it in Multithreaded for a more...
As far that I remember, the very first platform to use DDR-4 was going to be Haswell-E, which is still quite far away.
If power consumption bothers you and you're going to purchase both Processor and Motherboard, is there any reason why you won't go for a Haswell? You may want to consider a Core i5 4670 or i7 4770,...
Intel said that Ivy Bridge-E consist of three different dies: A 6-Core one, a 10-Core, and a 12-Core. So, the Quad Core model should be a 6-Core with two disabled. If it is native or not is a rather...
So basically, we have 100% rebadged parts but the lower end ones which are a Retail launch from an OEM part. You do not get free games with the new Radeon series which you do on the 7xxx, and...
But...
- You don't need a new Chipset to support Kaveri. There are FM2+ Motherboards with A55 (Released along FM1 Llano), like this one, which should be Kaveri compatible.
- USB3 support was...
And we still don't know the actual difference between A88X and A85X. Shame.
Good JF-AMD quotes. I recall back at the time many people asked him for a Dual Processor Motherboard with support for overclocking and he said there was no market for such a thing and how enthusiasts...
The Stilt seems to have access to many AMD docs under NDA, but he may not necessarily have access to all. With the FX-9000, I think he got catched off guard because the mammoth undertaking in...
*BUMP*
I wish I knew that. So far, it seems to be fully functional.
Many months ago I maded this Thread about IOMMU virtualization, which is what I intend to use my new machine for. While researching on what you needed to get a working IOMMU (Which usually boils down...
AM3+ topology do is outdated. Many Intel sockets and AMD own FM1/FM2 Processors got their own Integrated PCIe Controller, so the Processor can talk directly to the Video Cards instead of having to do...
Interesing that you mention Coreboot. I considered it as a potential alternative to get AMD-Vi working on Motherboards of brands that don't care about implementing that feature correctly. However,...
This is THE worst era to be an enthusiast. Do you remember how the enthusiast market was 10 years ago, and why it was so great? Simple: Because there was no market! This was a mere niche for some...
The entire Hardware industry has become boring and stagnant, because the more years you have looking at it, the more predictable it is. You know that the most important events coming from the top...
Intel politic at that time was to force you to purchase a new Chipset for every new Processor release, so for Intel side guys you needed a new platform even if they shared the same Socket. Pentium D...
You sure? According to this, A85X already had RAID 5 support:
There are other reviews from FM2 launch claiming the same. So if A88X doesn't bring neither PCIe 3.0, RAID 5, nor its actually...
Because AM3+ is a boring middle point. If I want CPU performance and have the wallet to pay for enthusiast-class stuff, I would totally ignore AM3+ and simply go to a LGA 1150 Haswell. If I want a...
Nope, they don't include PCIe 3.0. Its supported in the PCIe 16x slots thanks to Kaveri's own integrated PCIe 3.0 Controller, Chipset lanes are still 2.0. Besides, ASUS already said they have a FM2+...
Do actually someone knows what are the actual specs of the AMD A88X Chipset? When ASUS anounced their FM2+ Motherboard with it, I wasn't able to get any info about it after tons of googling. And I...
I can't think of an accurate answer, but the cost shouldn't be THAT higher. Is just that the Server market is used to pay huge premiums for enterprise grade products, so manufacturers milk them....
