Upgrade from AMD 64 to AMD X2 64

Hello :
I think to upgrade from AMD Athlon 64 3200+ to AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (Dual Core), but i don't know if my motherboard support it.
Motherboard : MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Edition (MS-7125)
                    06/23/2005-MS-7125-6A61FM49C-00
PCB : Version 1.0
BIOS : 
          Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG 
          W7125NMS V1.6 062305 20:14:37 
          Date 06/23/05 
Please Help me !
Thanks.

It will.  I have exactly that same motherboard and I just upgraded from a clawhammer 3500 to an Opteron 175.  Update your BIOS to latest (1B I think) and you should be good to go.  Note that when I boot, if I don't go into the BIOS, it only sees one core.  But as I run Linux, I rarely ever have to boot. 
It will work though.

    Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays videos ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU).

    Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
    files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
    Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
    Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
    Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed?  I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
    Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
    We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
    are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
    Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
    can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)

  • Hi i upgrade from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am getting no sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever

    Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
    I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.

    Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.

  • Unity Connection Upgrade from 8.6.2 to 9.1 latest version

    Hi,
    Am planning to Upgrade my CUC(Unity Connection) from 8.6.2 to 9.1 latest version, having my Call manager in the same version 8.6.2. I will upgrade my Call Manager from 8.6.2 to 9.X later.
    Hope i can upgrade my CUC first.
    I need some info like,
    1) Am not getting the image to download which can upgrade from 8.6.2 to 9.1 latest version directly. Should i have to move to 9.0 first and then to 9.1 ??
    2) Is their any pre cautions need to be taken care/ well known issues during the upgrade.
    3) Also, hope licensing get migrated automatically (no need to have extra efforts)
    4) Advantages of Moving to 9.x wrt to features compared to 8.6.
    Pls suggest.

    1. All my IP Addresses( Public/Private/VIP) are placed in /etc/host file.
    Q1: When we upgrade to 11g It will ask for SCAN IP, what should I do for that, I don't have DNS working in my organization, where Can I get SCAN IP and its port#?
    2. There are few components Invalid, Which I feel may be hindrance for my up gradation, Could you please tell me if I can upgrade the database even if Let these components Invalid?

    Hi,
    You need to use a different IP address for the SCAN VIP. In your example, it cannot be the same as dlpqcora1.
    Also, if you are not using a DNS to resolve it, then be aware that only one IP address can be configured (from note +[ID 887522.1] 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure Single Client Access Name (SCAN) Explained+ ):
    >
    Instead of DNS or GNS, Can we use '/etc/hosts' to resolve SCAN?
    Oracle strongly recommends that you do not configure SCAN VIP addresses in the hosts file. But if you use the hosts file to resolve SCAN name, you can have only one SCAN IP address.
    If hosts file is used to resolve SCAN hostname, you will receive Cluster Verification Utility failure at end of installation (See NOTE 887471.1 for more details)

  • I'm thinking of upgrading from 10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this? What are the implications / consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware?

    I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. I know, I'm years behind, but it has become a necessity. My Mac is becoming slow and is incompatible with many softwares and websites. Does anyone know of any problems associated with this upgrade? What are the implications and/or consequences of installing Yosemite? Does it effect functionality of v10.6.8 software or hardware? Are there any precautions I should take before the installation? I have read some posts about Macs slowing right down after installing Yosemite. Any insights and information (in layman's terms please!) would be very useful. Thanks.

    Huge thanks for your response Michel. I apologise for the delay in getting back to you. I have done as you suggested, the details are pasted below. Clearly there are some applications I need to remove and no doubt my HD could do with a 'spring clean'. My Mac 'Safe Booted' when I turned it on this morning.
    I use many different softwares, some web-based. The decision to upgrade to OSX Yosemite is because I was unable to attend a Webinar this week using GoToMeeting downloadable software. GoToMeeting have upgraded their system and my OS is no longer supported. Other websites like VImeo no longer support my version of Safari. I tend to use Chrome if Safari isn't compatible.
    Problem description:
    I'm thinking of upgrading from v10.6.8 Snow Leopard to OS X Yosemite. However I have noticed that my MacBook Pro becoming ‘slow’ over the last 3 weeks and therefore might have some issues that need to be resolved before I even consider installing OSX Yosemite. Over the last week my Mac has Safe Booted on three occasions, so clearly there’s a ‘glitch’ occurring.

  • Upgrading from HDD to SSD

    I received a HP 2000 2b43dx laptop as a gift. I increased the ram from 4GB to 8GB but that did not help the performance very much. I realize that the performance is limited mostly by the cpu which is AMD E-300 running at 1.3 MHZ.  I don't think it is possible to easily upgrade the cpu so I would like to replace the 320GB 5400 rpm HDD with a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD. It looks like Samsung data migration software should work ok for cloning the existing HDD (except it does not carry over the OEM recovery partition).  I made a USB copy of the recovery partition and since I have recently upgraded from Win 8 to 8.1 I hope I never have to go back to square 1 with the recovery partition. 
    First limitation for the upgrade is that I have SATA II instead of SATA III but that is not supposed to be a major limitation.  Second limitation is that apparently HP consumer laptops such as mine have a locked BIOS so it is not possible to activate AHCI through the BIOS. Also device manager only displays AMD SATA controller and no AHCI SATA controller.  I was hoping that this would not be a major problem because supposedly the Samsung Magician SSD management software allows to you to manually manage the SSD performance.  BUT when I read the user manual for Samsung Magician:
    (http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/SW/201401/20140128164030078/Magician_English_Installation_...
    The Magician manual (page 5) states that it does not work with AMD chipsets with AMD drivers which my model has.  This is a major limiting factor because use of the magician software is critical for making sure the SSD is working correctly.  Is it possible to switch from AMD drivers to Microsoft or Nvidia drivers so I can use the Samsung Magician software?  Any references to sources and methods would be appreciated.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Don't overthink it. The BIOS is set to ahci by default and invisibly. Windows 8 and 8.1 manage SSDs natively so there is nothing you really need to do. Clone the old drive to the new and go. The only thing to be careful about when you are cloing is not to shrink the sytem reserved partitions. If you do that things like Windows Backup, which use the system reserved partition, will no longer function and if the system partitions are shrunk too much the system will fail to boot. That can be repaired with a repair disk but it is a pain you want to avoid. So use a manual clone option and keep all but the main C:\ partition the same size.

  • Windows 10 Upgrade from Windows 7 (Direct X12 Compatible?)

    I'm currently using a Acer Aspire 7551-3749 Notebook Laptop that is about more than 7 years old, but i'm upgrading to Windows 10, completely factory resetting (maybe) before I install Windows 10.

    Would my system be able to Run Direct X 12?
    Please reply.
    Thanks.

    I'm a frequent poster on the Windows 10 forums, and my advice to folks in this situation (which, by the way includes me since one of my Win10 upgrades went badly, as well) is that an old OS that works well on your machine is vastly preferrable to a new OS that works badly. Installing Win10 messes with the partition structure on the hard drive, nearly always, this results in corrupting any original Recovery partition on the drive -- in fact, the EULA mentions that you won't be able to use that to restore your original OS, but it's buried down in there where no one will see it. Presuming you do not have a full image backup of your machine (or you would have said so), at this point, about all you can do is contact HP support and order Recovery Media.  This will be a set of DVDs and a CD, and you can then use them to restore your machine to its original condition.  Unfortunately, this will remove all data, settings, and applications from your drive.  And, given that yours is not a new machine (I presume), HP will require you to purchase that media.

  • Unkown device after upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10

    Hi I have n HP 255 G3 Notebook and I have just upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. An unknown hardware item has appeared in the Device Manager with the hardware ID "ACPI\VEN_ASD&DEV_0001". Could you please help me install the device properly? Kind regards Joey

    Its your AMD graphics driver. See answer by Paul http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/need-drivers-for-hp-2000-ACPI-ASD0001-2/td-p/4780295

  • Upgrading from MS-7345 Platinum MoBo?

      :D Hello,
    I am looking to possibly upgrade from my present MS-7345 Platinum Motherboard. These are the components I presently have installed:
    •   MS-7345 Platinum Micro-Star International (MSI)
    •   Intel Quad Q6600 Core2 Duo CPU  2.40GHz
    •   Windows 7 PRO 64
    •   Onboard REALTEK HD Audio
    •   8GB DDR2  Memory (MAX AMOUNT)
    •   Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT (256mb) (540MHz Core Clock) (128Bit)
    •   Screen resolution – 1280x768
    •   Thermaltake 700w PSU / ToughPower / 700-Watt / ATX / 140mm Fan / SATA Ready / SLI Ready / Crossfire ready
    •   ATX Coolermaster Case
    I am looking for an upgrade to my existing MSI Platinum, to accommodate a Intel Sandy Bridge i5-or i7 CPU, along with the newer 3.0/2.0 USB, (backwards compatible) and the capability of using the newer DDR3 memory, which I will be able to use more than my present maxed out 8GB DDR2.
     I also want to get a new Graphics PCi card. My present GeForce 8600GT with 256MB and a 540 Core clock speed is slow for today's standards, and also need to upgrade for usage with memory hungry programs like Photoshop and Pinnacle Studio HD Ultimate Video editing programs.
     I am NOT a gamer, nor do I over clock, I’m just one who enjoys video editing, and using Photoshop, and watching streaming videos, without hanging up on my video playback.  I use the screen res of 1280x768 because it just looks good to me using a Viewsonic LCD 2035wm monitor, for my eyes, at least.  I realize the recommended is 1280x1024.
    I really like the MSI customer service and products, my mainframe has been very much trouble free in these past four years, (except for a recent Corsair Twin 2GB Ram stick that went bad, not the slot, so Corsair was generous to send me another 4x2GB DDR2 matched memory sticks, but sadly, now I want to upgrade to the DDR3...but they are awesome anyway!)
    So....maybe someone could recommend a few of the newer MSI MoBo models to look at, that are similar to the MS-7345, which was a breeze to build, to fit my needs.  I’d like to stay with INTEL CPU’s, I have not ever used an AMD CPU, which I hear is far better using graphics, than Intel, but maybe they are equal at this time. Everyone has his/her preference, I know.  
    So for now, I'll stay with the Intel boards until maybe someone here could persuade me otherwise, to switch to the AMD boards.
    I think it cost me about $700-$800+ to build this last puter four years ago, the Q6600 CPU alone was $300.00, and everything else was new too...the ATX case, PSU, GPU, MSI Board, and a few more cooling fans.
     I can't believe that today's technology is forcing me to have to do all of this again so soon after four years, I know I can continue on my existing path using what I have, but feel compelled to stay ahead of the game with all the newer technology out there.
     Thank you for any help!

    My recommendations would be a Z68A-GD55 with an i5-2500. That board is capable of accommodating up to 32GB DDR3-1333/1600 RAM, should you ever require that much. I believe 4 X 4GB would suffice though.
    If you are not a gamer, then the onboard video should be enough to satisfy your video requirements.
    Alternatively wait till about the end of April and get an Ivy Bridge CPU i5-3570K with the Intel HD4000 GPU integrated. This you can then match with a Z77A-GD55 board.
    Depending on the onboard graphics experience, you could get a N550GTX-Ti-M2D1GD5 to enhance the graphics experience.

  • What Mac compatible graphics card makes a good upgrade from the Radeon HD 5870?

    Hello all,
    I am looking to upgrade from my Radeon HD 5870. I am running a mid-2010 Mac Pro, 12 core with 48GB RAM. The main reason for the upgrade is because I have a nice new Dell UP2414Q display for my 4k work. Problem is the HD 5870 won't support 3840x2160 as far as I can tell.
    I have really limited knowledge about graphics cards, so when I started dipping a toe into the world of graphics cards I got really overwhelmed and would appreciate anyone's advice on here.
    Thanks!

    I would think any of the latest GTX and AMD will

  • Is it really possible to upgrade from a Treo 650 to a Treo 750?

    I am not a very happy customer at the moment, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I upgraded from my old Palm Tungsten to a Zire, then to a Cingular Treo 650, combining three devices into one. I have since discovered that the Treo 650 seems to have a faulty transmission mode, as I can rarely be clearly understood by whomever I call. Am on the second (or third, I have lost track) and continue to have the same problem. I get five bars of reception but can't be understood on the other end. A bit of a problem when one is trying to call 911. Am constantly told I am "breaking up". The repair shop says it "Can't duplicate the problem". OK, then I do not want to give up all the info I have stored in the fool thing, and the 750 seems to have a different system, so I thought I would try that. All the stuff I could find seemed to indicate it wouldn't be a problem to upgrade. When the 750 arrived, I tried to install the software from the CD on my Windows XP computer. No dice. Setup encounters an error and closes. Can't even look at the files, because setup tries to run any time I access the CD. From any drive.  Gave it to my girlfiend to check on her computer, and the CD seemed to run fine. Other CDs work just fine on my computer. Must be some kind of conflict, but what? Tried calling the AT&T number that suggested they could help with setup, and was first connected to the business center, they routed me to the laptop center, who routed me to the network center, who said they would have to bring in the Palm customer service and connected me to a Mac guy that dumped me back to a menu that took me to someone for whom English is a second language with whom I was trying to communicate over a very poor satellite connection. They made no sense anyway. telling me first that I couldn't have two desktops running (wrong, my girlfriend has my old Zire and the CD worked fine) and then insisting that the serial number on my device had to start with a P, when it clearly does not have any alpha characters in it. Gave up on that route of assistance. Managed to get the new ActiveSync installed from my girlfriends computer over the network. Great. Now let's get my 650 synced with Outlook (which I have not used at home) and see if we can move on. Nope. First I have to update Outlook 2000 from the old Win98 to my current XP. Find the old CD, and square that away. OK, now sync to Outlook. Nope. The sync program gives an error, saying it will only sync with Outlook 98, 2000, and XP(2002). Good grief. I have Outlook 2000, and the software apparently does not recognize it. If the Palm doesn't work, there is no reason for me to keep this phone, and I am very close to returning it and abandoning the Palm entirely when I upgrade to something that works, although I dread re-entering all that information.

    Thanks for the feedback. Today I installed an Enterprise version of Office 2007 I purchased a while back, but had not yet installed. Microsoft presented a few challenges, but they were quickly resolved. I then downloaded the appropriate conduit from Palm, and synced the 650 with the handheld overwriting the computer. Then used Active Destop to sync the 750. Satisfied I had moved as much info as possible, I called AT&T and had them move the phone number to the new Treo.
    Bonus! When the guy at AT&T called me on the new phone to verify it, he said it sounded better than my landline.
    Sorry for the streaming paragraph. When it is late I tend to write like I think.

  • I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers.  Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

    I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6.  Everything converted fine.  Yesterday I deleted an app in error.  When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion.  Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?  

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.
