Acquiring an Acer - Laptop with AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core Processor - Blue

Hey guys, I live down in Rowlett, Texas (near Dallas), and am trying to find one of these laptops. Unfortunately, none of the nearby stores have available units. I heard that I could request one to be sent to a store, but I wanted to see if anyone here had anything to say about trying to get one of these.
Thanks,
theDGs

Its usually the nearby stores that make the exception, if its a whole other county that can be tricky.

Toshiba Sattelitte L550D, AMD dual core processor M520, Firefox 3.6 works fine; any later version produces only server not fond for any URL; any one have a fix?

Forgot to mention op system is Windows 7 64 bit; 4 gig memory and a 320 gig 5400 rpm (slow) SATA drive. Have tried Pale Moon with the same result although its site shows the AMD Turion II dual core processor as supported

Yes, the question was poster from my desktop machine which is set to dual boot both windows 7 and Xp. I regularly run spybot scans but I'll try all the others you mentioned.
Thanks

I am lookinat buying an Aspire Netbook with 4 gig ram, dual core amd c70 processor and windows 8, wi

am looking at buying an Aspire Netbook with 4 gig ram, dual core amd c70 processor and windows 8, will it run my cs5 suite

Mark,
Adobe generally requires a minimum CPU clock speed of 2.0 GHz or higher in order to run CS5 or higher. Unfortunately, the AMD C70 CPU in that netbook operates at only 1.0 GHz, which is far below Adobe's minimum requirement. In addition, even if it did run Premiere Pro CS5, performance will be excruciatingly slow, not only due to the extremely weak CPU, but also due to the complete lack of a discrete GPU with CUDA capability. As such, that system, if it even runs Premiere Pro CS5 at all, would be at least 80 to 100 times slower (in terms of the Relative Performance Index (RPI) in Bill Gehrke's and Hard Millaard's PPBM5 tests) than even a mediocre quad-core desktop PC, let alone a fast overclocked i7 monster PC.

Error message after installing an AMD Phenom II quad core processor

1. HP Pavilion Slimline s5120y Desktop PC
2. Windows 7 64-bit
3. "Uncompatible processor installed, shutting down in a few seconds"
4. I replaced the AMD Athlon X2 7750 processor with an AMD Phenom II quad core processor
I had done some research on upgrading my son's computer's processor from an AMD Athlon X2 7750 processor to an AMD Phenom II quad core processor. I checked the compatible processors on the HP website and it showed that the AMD Phenom II quad core processor would be supported. The specs for the Phenom II I bought are: 95 watt / 2.4 GHz / quad core / hyper transport technology / AM2+ socket / integrated DDR memory controller / HD9750XAJ4BGH.
After installing the processor (with thermal paste) I booted up the computer and the message: "Uncompatible processor installed, shutting down in a few seconds" showed up. I tried again and the same thing. Is this processor NOT compatible with this computer or is something else going on?

Please discuss this under desktop catagory for better suggestions and quicker resolution. thank you

How to use Real time execution trace toolkit with Dual-core processor??

hi there
the situation as follows:
i have a computer (PC and Laptop) types with Dual-core processors, and am trying to do simulation using Multi-core technology and based on different simulation scenarios...starting from sequantial processing,.......Piple lining processing strategy. so that i can differentiate the time delay between those types of processing based on (Using 1 processor then dual-core processor Computers)
my question is: As i read through Ni's white papers i saw many notes refer to Real-time execution trace toolkit to investigate the (processing-time , etc) of multi-core processors in processing diffenent algorithms. My algorithms are to be run on 1 computer with dual-core processor BUT, not in real time environments, that is ( No hardware to be connected to my pc) only algorithms running on my pc....
So, is it possible to use Real time execution trace toolkit or anyother tools in LabVIEW to show processing-delays and/or anyother timing critical issues without using my application for real- time hardware.???
in other words: how to use Real time execution trace toolkit in non-hardware and/or real-time scenarios???
please help me in this.
Any suggestion, comments, feedback.....is absolutely highly appreciated
thanks a lot in advance
Labview Lover

Hey,
The Realtime Execution Trace Toolkit only works for NI RT Targets.
But you can use the Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit, just search for it under ni.com.

Turning on Virtualization in Compaq/HP Presario C500 with Dual Core processor

Hoping someone can help me out.
Running a Compaq Presario C500 laptop with the Dual Core processor. Intel's site says the processor supports virtualization.
However, in the F.24 A Phoenix BIOS setup (pressing F10 on Startup), there's no option to turn on Intel Virtualization Technology on any of the Tabs. Tried downgrading the BIOS to F.14A -- as the description says; "Adds item to Setup utility (F10) to enable/disable Intel Processor Virtualization Technology."
However, when I startup, press F10 -- there's no option for turning this on.
Is there another place to go -- other than the F10 setup area of the BIOS -- to turn on Virtualization Technology?
If an expert out there can help, it would be very appreciated!

Problem with dual core processors: 50% ressources are not used.

Hello all,
I have noticed, that the java app cannot get normally more than 50% of the system ressources. I use different threads in my application, but the app still does't achieve 100% of system power. Max 50-60%.
If I run two processes, I get 100%, but I can't share memory space between this two process. Or I can?
What is the best way to write an application, that can use 100%, in other words, full power of dual core processors.
Thanks in advance.

Try thread.setPriority() method. I am making guess
and any comments
from experts on this method will be highly
acknowledged.Yeah. Don't do that, it's a bad idea.
Back to the original post, there are two reasons this can be happening.
1) Your code is not efficient multi-threading wise. If you are for example running two thread that are in theory parallel but in actual fact provide linear execution so that one is almost blocked by the other then multiple threads and multiple cores will underutilized. It's hard to speculate further on this without seeing your code.
2) The OS. First of all there is the issue of how the oS shares up the processor between processes. This varies and may or may not be configurable. The bottom line on this point is that your OS may be capping the utilization of the processor by process. Again there's not enough information give by you to expand on this point. The second OS issue regards how the OS deals with multi-core. Just because you have a multicore processor does not mean that your OS automatically can take advantage of it.

HP laptops with AMD motherboards are all defective garbage

Why does HP continue to use these notoriously defective AMD boards? You're lucky to get a year out of them, and then convienently just after the year warranty is up they die. Windows has a blue screen of death, I think AMD HP's should be called the black screen of death. I have a G7-1330dx and the motherboard failed. It would not charge or recognize a good ac adapter (tried 3 good ones). So I buy a used motherboard on Ebay, that's they claim was tested. I install it and guess what.....black screen of death. There's currently 9 of these specific motherboards on Ebay and 5 out of 9 are dead, and one untested, which probably also means dead. First it was the dv2000, dv6000, dv9000 etc series that had the black screen of death, then it was the dv5, dv6 etc......Now HP keeps it's horrible reputation going by using the same defective junk in the G6's and G7, and who knows how many more models. I am returning this dead mb to the Ebay seller, I will buy another used one on Ebay and once this piece of crap works I am selling it and buying a Dell with an Intel. Here's my advice to anyone that reads this that was thinking about buying an HP.....Don't do it, you will be sorry. Buy a Dell. I will share this advice on Facebook and fill out numerous reviews, hopefully I can prevent someone from getting robbed by HP.

Hi,
I have bought a tested mtb (Intel) off eBay and it was also defective. Not dead but couldn't pass through the POST. G6/7 series are budget laptops!! If you want a decent laptop buy an Envy. It's still cheaper with the same or even better configuration than a Dell laptop.

KM4M-v with AMD Athlon XP 1500+ wont boot.

ok... this seems to be semi common, and yes i checked the PSU, ram, hdd, cpu seating, cooler seating.. etc etc. im stumpped.
PSU: Dynex DX-PS300W 300W
+5v - 30A
+12V - 15A
+3.3 - 20A
-5V - .5A
-12v - .8A
+5Vsb - 2A
CPU:
AMD Athlon XP 1500+
New thermal coumpound, triple checks seating, and cooler seating.
tryed with one stick of ram, both sticks,
Tryed with no HDD both HDD(sepparatly and together)
Tryed with floppy Diconnected.
tryed with NO drives at all.
i have tryed everything i can think of. this machine refuses to boot. the PSU is 45 min old. this is the third PSU i have tryed. all in varying strengths. including the 450 PSU from the fisrts system in my sig. all to no avail. when i hit the power button on the front all that happens iss the CPU fan spins up and dies, the PSU fan does the same, and then the machine dies. the mouse, and KB LED's stay lit as if it was in stand-by. there ane NO PCI cards installed, no AGP. im at my wits end. HELP!!!!

Stay lit, but no way you (can) reach BIOS? Do you know how to clear CMOS? Perhaps it is looking for a PS2 mouse or keyboard, some booting device, or something completely different. Don't forget to pull power cable if you clear CMOS.
I guess you have checked for visible damage to the mobo, extra stand-offs behind it, and loose connections already.
If above doesn't work, the next step for me would be to reseat the processor. And next to dump the mobo.
Edit: Of course, the processor must also be controlled or tried in another system.
Yes no extra stand offs, and the board looks to be in perfect shape. came like it is... and the connections are firmly seated. hdd, power etc, all firmly plugged in.
happen to know if the 1500+ wprks on the k7n2 delta2 platinum?
only other AMD board in the house.
*Edit* Cpu seems to be fried, turns out my son got to more than just the old mobo. the cpu is an amd athlonXP 1700+ based on the numbers on the chip. and yes it does work with a K7N2 Delta2 Platinum. and no my CPU does not work. thanks for the time and extra eyes.

MSI A75MA-P35 (MS 7697) With AMD ATHLON II QUADCORE - Several Beeps

Hi,
I´ve just monted an MSI A75MA-P35 (MS 7697) with a AMD ATHLON II QUADCORE (2.6), and at this time i´ve several beep codes (1 long + 2 shorts).
I´m using AMD Memory (1 slot, 4 Gb, pc3 - 12800 1600mhz, CL9 - 1.5V), that´s all i´ve connected/mounted.
ps - i´m using an Advance Power Supply with 480W.
Any ideas about this?
Regards,

Quote from: Svet on 04-April-12, 00:15:40
what's the exact CPU model?
PSU details?
VGA used?
memory details? brand, vendor, ECC?
And...? Does the system boots and works fine?
CPU - AMD ATHLON II X4 631 AD631XWNGXBOX
PSU - ADVANCE 5100S - 480W
VGA - ONBOARD
MEMORY - AMD MEMORY (1 slot, 4 Gb, pc3 - 12800 1600mhz, CL9 - 1.5V) AE34G1609U2
... and doesn´t boot at all.

AMD Dual Core Processor - Problem between tracks

I am running iTunes on a dual core AMD Athlon processor and notice strange behavior on the computer. When iTunes moves from one track to the next, it sounds like it is playing the end of the first track at the same time as the beginning of the second track. The same mp3 files play perfectly when downloaded to the iPod.
My theory is that iTunes is using only one processor on each file (track) but can switch to the other processor for the next track. Since they are asynchronous, they end up overlapping during the transition.
BTW - latest drivers, including the May '06 AMD driver are installed.

There's no need to worry, it's just a neat little feature, not a hardware issue. Some people like it.
In iTunes, go to the Playback prefereences (Edit>Preferences>Playback tab) and make sure "Crossfade Playback" is deselected.

Unexpected reboot during simulation using multisim on AMD dual core processor

We are using NI-multisim 10 in a classroom environment and are experiencing sudden reboots during simulation without giving any error or warning. This happens on multiple machines, all being Dell Optiplex 740 with AMD DC 2Ghz as processor. Since these problems happen so frequently, making teaching quite impossible, we have shifted PC-room and are now using older machines. On these machines - Dell GX280 using intell P4HT-2,8 Ghz - we experience no more problems.
Is this reboot problem related to the article : Unexpected Errors with DAQ Device on AMD Dual Core Machine (http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9CE22FE099AFB8BF862572FF007A5D45) and what do we have to do to fix this problem?

Nic
Can you verify your driver versions? Make sure that you are running the latest versions of NI drivers to ensure proper compatibility. If possible, you might try upgrading to multisim 11. If this does not solve the issue, try the single processor workaround in outlined in the following KB:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/D0FC3BE7D9F331398625731A005D76B8?OpenDocument
Altough it is surely decreasing the performance of the system, certain cases have shown that there is no other possible workaround unfortunately.
