Re: Windows Update and AMD X2 6000
Oh yes, they're both up and running. I've DLed numerous benchmark software, have AMD Power Monitor, and Task Manager shows two cores running.
Really I wouldn't be so hesitant if the Update page would actually give details! There is NOTHING in the description box about what this update does. I've searched for what the update may entail, and haven't come up with anything, so won't install it until I have a good reason to, i.e. performance increase, security increase, et cetera. |

AMD ATI | Thank you, norwegian, but I'm on SP 3. This article states that the fix is for PCs on SP 2.
I appreciate you taking the time to look!  |

1 edit | I'm not sure if it is included in SP3, I don't remember ever seeing anything mentioned off Microsoft to say it was rectified, nor made a forced update. What ever they used for the hotfix may have been improved along the way to SP3 though.
Edit: Clarified vocab.
