    Does an AMD Sempron 3000+ Support Compare exchange 128?

    We got to 10, by skipping 9, didn't we? :} (I'm kidding, I just. couldn't refrain from the easy remark, I apologize LOL) Although this does remind me of something I was going to mention in my earlier rambling... In relation to you feeling it was "cheating" to install and just move HDDs after...

    Does an AMD Sempron 3000+ Support Compare exchange 128?

    I know the attempt to get it running on the Sempron has died, but I still was curious if there was a way to bypass that CPU Instructions Check and did stumble across this... (albeit for Win8.1, but as pointed out elsewhere in the thread, that's where the CPU Instructions check started)...

    Son of Concorde News

    *steps in from the shadows* You seem to have left out a few exceptions to that rule :oops: Just sayin'! lol In all seriousness, only one of them even kinda resembles this one's design, with the top-intake rear-outlet. This one's concept art shares the stubby wings, though. Doesn't seem to have...

    Ram Tweakers Version DDR3

    Got the A8-3870K to review, but the A55 Pro3 died so had to get a new one. Opted for the Gigabyte A75-UD4H. Overclocking-wise it kicks ass, have managed DDR3-2445MHz so far, with 2500 getting to Windows Loader (skipped testing 2475 for now). Write performance of the board is horrible though...

    Sapphire Pure Black 990FX-N is Purely for CrossFire

    Not practical, but you could get one of the PCI->PCIe x1 adapters of eBay :o They'd raise the card up (thus not being practical), but also run like $30 after shipping and it's just a chinese-made product :eek::shadedshu It's not a sticker or protective plastic, from what I can tell. Looks...

    Change the start button picture AKA How to screw Windows up: The Complicated Way

    Would've been easier to just assume ownership of Explorer.exe, instead of boot into another OS lol But, good job on pooching it! Sounds like me :D Back when we got our first computer in 1994, I compressed the HD because it'd give over a gig (from the 830MB drive it had), but... Windows couldn't...

    New Realtek 2.57 X-fi modded drivers available

    Oh and also, I don't know why anyone would need to get the modded drivers, either. Just need the X-Fi MB stuff. To 'mod' the drivers only takes adding in your Device ID (don't need Subsys), or I'd assume that what they did in the HDA.inf/HDX.inf, putting in just this would work: "Realtek High...

    New Realtek 2.57 X-fi modded drivers available

    That's totally different then the people who's boards DON'T support it. The thing that the drivers do is look at two things: First for the chip (Device IDm or DEV_), in your case ALC892, then at the Subsystem ID (SUBSYS_). So having an ALC892 won't do anything, because people aren't matching the...

    New Realtek 2.57 X-fi modded drivers available

    heh Actually I just wanted to keep from repeating myself by telling you what I earlier told Bad.Wolf what to try. Have you done those steps? Also if you haven't read this whole thread you might be missing a key component that needs applying in safe-mode.

    New Realtek 2.57 X-fi modded drivers available

    So that link I provided is only for X-Fi MB2? It's not a driver pack, even though it says "driver" in the name? :\ I'm not a studio audio person, but I know for a fact that M-Audio cards use VIA chips :rolleyes:: http://www.m-audio.com/images/global/media_hqpics/Audiophile2496.jpg...
