AMD Athlon 64 Processor Driver for Windows XP?

[ANTant]

Hi.

Does the driver
(http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_9706,00.html)
really work for Windows XP Professional SP2 (all updates)? I cannot
seem to tell the differences. Maybe I forgot to enable something?

Thank you in advance.

It depends on your motherboard. The driver varies the CPU and fan speed
on MBs that support the "Cool-n-Quiet" features of the Athlon 64 CPUs.

Oh, I have to enable in CMOS? I have ASUS K8V SE motherboard. I will
try that later. I hope I can save a lot of power and heat during idled
times.

I see "Cool'n'Quiet" in CMOS, but there is no enable/disable option as
noted in the K8V SE motherboard manual like shown on
http://www.asus.com/products/mb/cnq.htm ... I also enabled the Q-fan,
but it didn't make enabled/disabled option come up.

Any ideas?

Does yours show "Disabled"? If so, did you press "Enter" to see if
there were any options? Updating the BIOS would be another option.
Usually the items that are changed or corrected in a BIOS update are noted.

None! No option! It's like missing! I have 1004 BIOS installed since I
ever got the motherboard over a month ago. I guess I can live without
this feature. It would had been nice to let the computer slow down during
idled times.
