I tryed to find out more about this update from microsoft was for the x-2 processor was but was not able to find anything does anyone have any ideals

[Chewy]

looks like a mobo update? wait for UNcasMS

[mill]

Thanks Chewy will do

[UncasMS]

your question, mill, was what exactly?

- should you install this raid driver?
- is it for x2 cpus?

i wouldnt install those raid drivers unless an existing raid wouldnt work (anymore)
the original drivers normally work fine

[mill]

No the one below that one, and yes its for the pc with the x-2 . I went to windows update and did a check for updates and these are what showed up. I dont have the raid setup on my drives

[UncasMS]

dont install it

the silicon image pseudo processor is part of a softraid controller iirc
what do the "details" tell you?

[Chewy]

there's been something wrong quite a few times lately with those windows
hardware updates, learn to go into safe mode and choose last known good if
you try to use them!

[mill]

yea thats why i asked you guys before, i really dont want to install if not needed, but have been giving some serious thought about the cool and quiet driver.

As far as the details all i got is what was on the picture didnt really go into details, unknown ,thanks again

[UncasMS]

so you're saying you havent installed/turned on c&q yet?

you should really do so as it really is a wonderful technology which wont slow you down or require constant user-interaction

[mill]

No not yet still a little gun shy when it comes to installing anything on the new pc, and what is this reffering to?

mill, if I were you I would just watch my temps and if you start getting in the
40's idleing, then it would be worth your while to have C&Q installed.
I am going to do the same with my overclocking, but as long as I can run
cool, it's no benefit to have it.

I have activated Cool n Quiet (it was set to auto automatically). I also installed Power Monitor.

It goes down to 1000mhz when idling with my 64 3700 and it does go up to 2200mhz when it needs to.

Idling temperture is around 28 C. At the moment even with DVD Rebuilder running it is only 32 C and at 2200mhz.

[Chewy]

In that little case I wouldn't even debate it, and would want all case fans running full steam ahead.

Just turned it on,
