X2 3800 which drivers required

[DirtyJester]

Hi guys

Just about to stick a X2 3800 setup together and I know I have to install some drivers for XP (using XP pro) to pick up on the dual core ? So question is having looked at the list on AMD website which ones is it that I need. Don't want to start sticking a lot of unnecessary stuff onto a clean setup. Thanks for the help.

Though don't think you need the hotfix (steps 2~3) anymore

Thanks again

to be honest for me it works perfectly without installing anything, didn't notice any difference in performance after installing both driver and dual core optimiser either.

Ok cheers steve as I havent got around to the build yet (certain little people in house cant see santa at work) I'll try without and see how it goes. Cheers

They're not meant to improve performance, they're bugfixing more than anything.

I just installed the X2 optimiser and amd driver on sp2 and no problems with mine.
