Dear All, Thanks for the advise and the upgrade is done smoothly. Akcm

Hi, As the price for AMD's CPU has dropped to a tempting level, I am planning to upgrade from 3200 to 3800 X2. My question is do I need to re-install XP again so as to enjoy the 'dual processor' capability of X2 ? Regards, akcm

Hi, As to the power LED problem, I end up modding the plug and it works. However, I have encountered another problem. After a program insatllation, I was asked to reboot. The screen was freezed and I end up doing a reset which doesnt work. So I do a cold start. No error beep and no boot up...

Hi, Currently, I am looking to upgrade the CPU to 4400 X2. My question is if the official BIOS from MSI (1B) is supposed to support the X2 ? Also, can this be done (flashing of BIOS) under XP or that it has to be in DOS mode ? Regards, Akcm

Hi, Has any one been able to run X2 under MSI Neo 2 ? I saw a number of post mentioning that the latest BIOS is having problem and I tend to hold of the BIOS upgrade as well as CPU upgrade ( 3200+ to 3800 Dual Core). Akcm

Hi, I just brought a XFX 6800 card. I used the latest 77.72 driver and the video player back (WMV and DVD) is very bad. So I switched back to driver shipped with the package (62.xx) and it worked great. I also tried the beta driver 80.40. Again the video playback is back while 3D gaming is...

Pduan87, You are using a Zalman NB HS. And what is your CPU's temp ? I am about to switch to a SLK 900 A as well as the NB HS. But the mod for ND HS is quite tedious tough. Akcm

It is the GT version. And thanks for sharing. Was about to mod the case for better temp. Now I may just wait and see. Akcm

Just upgrade the display card to Leadtek TDH 400. Using the Winfast, the temperature reading is 60 C wihile the ambinet is 40 C. Not too sure whether this is normal and will be grateful if you guy can comment. Akcm

For all those who upgrade from 9700/9800 to 6800, do you need to reinstall the OS ? I am a bit worried that I might need to do so. This leads to me to go for the upgrade with X800 which is not cost competitive solution though. Akcm
