Does anyone know if Audigy's SetFSB Auto Tool is compatible with the T8100? If so, what is the PLL#? Is it ICS9LPR363DGLF?

The pll number is the clock generator number - that's on your motherboard, not your processor. So, it has no bearing on which processor you have. This means you can use the same one anyone else with the same notebook you have, even if they've got different processors (usually).

Ahh..okay, thanks.

But, I still don't know whether Audigy's Tool is compatible with my processor...I'd really like to try to overclock my CPU.

I can't see why it wouldn't be. His tool does not actually handle the overclocking itself, all it does is interact with SetFSB - which certainly is compatible with your processor. I'd imagine the only potential problems if he doesn't have a version specific to you is that the resultant processor speeds won't match what the tool says they will. Now, I don't know for sure of course, but you could try.

Get the T8300 version, and try with the lowest one first. Have CPU-Z running, record the actual processor speed your getting as a result, and run a stress testing program such as orthos to monitor stability while you're at it.

Then, just rename the files as you go to the speeds you actually get.

Worth a try, anyways

Ahh, nope - doesn't work

All of them gives an error right at startup. I guess I'll just have to wait for him to release a T8100 version. Thanks though.

Dont worry, im stull waiting for the X7900 version

You guys need to find out your PLLs if you don`t have a Clevo M57xRU. the one with ICF or something like that in the end is only for RUs.

Hi. I'm the soon-to-be proud owner of a Sager 5793, courtesy of powernotebooks/Tim. It'll come pre-installed with Vista 64. I've never fussed with Vista, although I have extensive experience with PCs from the TRS-80 through Apple through Amiga through most kinds of Windows. It looks like to me that if I want to wipe off the Vista 64 and replace it with Vista 32, I'll just reformat, install with the Vista 32/64 disk, and finish up with the (hopefully) included drivers disk. Does that about cover it?

Thanks.

Well, yeah - that's pretty much how you'd do it. My question is, why do you want to do that? What's your reason for removing Vista x64 and downgrading to x86? If your new 5793 comes w/4gb of RAM, are you aware that x86 can't access it all, while x64 can? And if you're processor is 64bit, the same is true. Most x64 users have not experienced any compatibility issues, and drivers are becoming more and more prevalent. Is there another reason you'd go to the trouble of uninstalling your entire OS and reinstalling a lesser version of it?

[silverjim]

Thanks for the input. Well, I'd like to do it as I've a subscription to SpySweeper, and that doesn't support Vista 64. I bought G-Force, a screensaver program that I really really like, and that doesn't support Vista 64 either. I have some games that apparently have problems with V-64.

Sure, I'm fully aware of the memory access difference, and I'm also aware of the increasing driver compatibility. I only have a printer that I plug in now and then, so I guess driver compatibility doesn't mean much to me.

When you say a 'lesser version', are you meaning that it's slower, less efficient, runs hotter, or....? I'm always willing to have my mind changed, as the older I get, the less I know.

[Friar_Tuck]

I suppose by "lesser", I mean less robust security, limited memory access, and lesser CPU potential. I don't think x86 runs less efficiently or more slowly (save for the memory limitation).

If you have programs that are necessary to your system and are not supported by x64, then the decision makes sense. And if your install DVD has both versions, then you will still have the option to switch back to x64 in the future if you want to (if your programs become updated, etc...)
