Hi guys,
I installed a new processor the AMD 6000 dual core and it all went well. Switched the computer on and booted into windows vista with no problems at all.
So I thought great, I was currently running a dual core 5200 AMD - not a massive upgrade I realise that, my computer score on windows vista based on the minimal component (in this case the processor) was 5.3, so after installing the processor I expected a bigger jump than 5.4 - does that seem normal, if so no problem - just expected a bigger improvement.
Furthermore, the motherboard can identify it is an AMD chip, but can not distinguish what type (i.e the speed) - I have checked the bios and it says something like...AMD processor model unknown. The chip was purchased from over-clockers, do I need to update the bios or something for it to recognise the chip correctly.
I apologise if some of the questions I have asked are simple, I am just starting off in the world of PC building and over-clocking.
My current motherboard is Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe (Socket AM2) nForce 590 SLI MCP Chipset DDR2/800 MBoard w/ Dual 16x PCI-Express
Cheers.
