Ok...heres what I can add about applying the hot fix deal. The process is completely unecessary from my experimentations with this after numerous reformat installs, I find that if you install the AMD CPU driver after the chipset drivers and then let windows download all of the current updates and then install the Nov release of the Dual core optimizer and reboot and check the Boot ini it reads exactly the same as the reg edit method listed in the thread here! I suppose the new dual core optimizer does the config for you and I will also be one of those who say that it does run 2-4c hotter when doing the rededit process!

I'm wondering about how necessary it is to install the KB896256 Hotfix in the OP.
The issue is that a recent update from MS windowsupdate, KB929338 includes even newer versions of these 4 files:
Does this not render 896256 redundant in this case?Code:File name File version File size Date Time Platform SP requirement Ntkrnlmp.exe 5.1.2600.3051 2,136,064 19-Dec-2006 14:15 x86 SP2 Ntkrnlpa.exe 5.1.2600.3051 2,057,600 19-Dec-2006 12:55 x86 SP2 Ntkrpamp.exe 5.1.2600.3051 2,015,744 19-Dec-2006 12:55 x86 SP2 Ntoskrnl.exe 5.1.2600.3051 2,180,352 19-Dec-2006 14:17 x86 SP2

Hi folks, I'm new here but having just upgraded from single core Athlon64 4000+ to dual-core Opteron 180 I need a bit of help with a couple of issues.
I'm running a dual boot with XP and Vista on seperate drives and changed the cpu without reinstalling either.
The Vista installation went smoothly enough - detected new cpu , installed drivers etc . No problem.
The XP installation booted up fine, detected dual core and shows two windows in task manager. However I cant seem to install the AMD drivers (amdcpusetup.exe). I uninstalled the old drivers in device manager but when I tried to run amdcpusetup.exe I get message box saying that I need to uninstall old drivers in CONTROL PANEL. I dont have any AMD items in control panel??
Yes I did reboot several times but was only able to reinstall the old drivers via the windows new hardware detected thingy.
Is there somewhere I can get the opteron drivers that arent locked up in an .exe file that I cant access, so that I can update drivers manually in device manager?
Or any other suggestions please.

Asus A8N SLI deluxe

Its Ok I found my old athlon 64 driver has appeared in Control panel - I'm sure it wasn't there before.
thanks for nice guide i really do see improvements after installing those drivers and hotfixes . 120 more marks in 3dmark05 and 5k more in aquamark . Only problem was ms hotfix which is linked in guide , it gave me bsods after installing optimizer . i updated to hotfix v4 and all runs perfect now . So i suggest you do the same in your guide ...

First of all Gar i want to thank you for retrieving and posting this info.
I installed the drivers from AMD and the Hotfix. then I started noticing an incredible decrease in frame rates about 20-25 fps less than It usually gave me. Later I changed my vid card an everything started working as it should. I just assembled my computer but do you guys thinnk it would be wise to formatt? I have uninstalled and isntalled the dirvers again a milllion times.
3D benchmark said my score was 1637.

Hi guys
Ive just bought an FX60 and wanted to make sure im doing this right.
1\ Download and install the AMD driver for windows XP from the link below.
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...1_9706,00.html
AMD Athlon™ 64/FX Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (x86 and x64 exe) 1.3.2.16
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/cont...mdcpusetup.exe
2\ Download and install the MS hotfix, WindowsXP-KB896256-v4-x86-ENU.exe - is this the correct version ? or do i have to install multiple patches ? ....
3\ Edit my registry to enable the patch.
4\ Edit my boot.ini and add the command /usepmtimer
5\ Download and install the AMD Dual core optimizer from
http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/...1_9706,00.html
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/cont...ties/Setup.exe
That sound like the correct way ? any help appreciated.

Ok, so apparently the new hotfix adds the reg info automatically. Cuz when i went to edit the registry, there was already a throttle folder in the specified location with the "PerfEnablePackageIdle" value and the DWORD value was already set to 1 and hexadecimal was also already selected. Is this the same for anyone else who tried to edit the reg to enable the patch??
Well I became quite irritable last night trying to figure out what the hell was going on with my PC... I upgraded to a 3800+ X2 from a 3700+ and installed the drivers and dual core optimizer before shutting down and installing the new CPU.
The first time my PC came up fine, but Windows detected new hardware, installed new drivers and prompted me to reboot. Ever since then I would get a BSOD a few seconds into XP with a DEVICE_IRQL_LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL message. I assumed it was just some incompatibility with my new drivers and proceeded to update my chipset drivers, BIOS, uninstall all the apps that were running, etc. Until I finally came to the dual core optimizer, which as soon as I start it up in safe mode, my PC would restart.
I don't suppose anyone is familiar with this problem? I tried installing the hotfix afterwards, but I was still getting the same problem. When I get home from work I plan to install the hotfix, add the registry value and then try re-installing the dual core optimizer. Anyone have any other suggestions?
All my drivers are now updated and virtually NO other software is running... there is no conflict, and it's some weird thing with the dual core software.
Thanks for the guide GAR, was your first post upated with latest links?
just curious - any one here with amd quad - 2 dualcores in a dual-socket mobo?
Do you still need the MS hotfix? Someone did say that the newer fixes by M$ should fix things right? I assume I have it because Windows Updates says I've installed everything...
