upgraded A64-->X2, what extra drivers to install?

[skanky]

got myself an X2 from MM to replace a A64 3000+ which is running in my fileserver/HD media player, what drivers/patches do i need to install? will i need to reinstall anything like the motherboard chipset drivers or the amd cnq driver?

i recall seeing some sort of dual core amd optimiser something something whilst browsing through the interweb, cant for the the life of me remember where it was though!

ta.

The first is the AMD dual core optimiser and the other link has a windows patch for dual core - i've not installed it but its worth keeping a link too incase

Normally the maker of the product's website is a good place to start (here)

AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (x86 and x64 exe) 1.3.2.16

Second last

Will also need the first one 'AMD Dual-Core Optimizer'

oh heh i thought there'd be a seperate cnq driver to go with the processor driver like it was forthe a64, guess not.
