Title: Dual Core CPU's and AH2
Post by: Mugzeee on September 16, 2006, 01:58:52 PM
Would like to know if the spinning clipboard crash is still persistent while trying to run both cores of an dual core Processor?
Planning on building a new PC utilizing an Intel Duo core2 Conroe.
1. Has anyone figured out if the Spinning Clipboard problem is AMD, Nvidia, or AH2, driver problem?
2. Is anyone currently running a system using any of the Conroe Chips?
3. Any opinions on a MOBO for the Conroe 6600?
4. Was reading several reviews that claimed the Conrore 6600 runs HOT. Any feedback here?
Thanks.

MugZ look in the hardware and software forum there is a sticky about AMD doule core. Also remember reading about a fix for the AMD. I don't think it is an issue on the Intel chip. There is also a thread about an Intel Conroe system, I believe it is Skuzzy's

I'm running the 6300 and I love it. Mine runs at about 40C under load. I think Skuzzy said his(6800) is at around 30C. I purchased the ASUS P5B mobo and am happy with it. It was my 1st build so I kept it simple. I made sure it was 775 mobo and said core 2 compatible.

Conroe dualies are fine.  AMD dualies are fine with the patch supplied from AMD.
