Grab your Phillips, it's...
The Latest from The Screwdriver List!
You can download a program from the www.amd.com web site to tell you a lot
more details about the CPU chip you have. Go to this URL:
http://www.amd.com/products/cpg/bin/
Download the file amdcpuid.exe (second item in second set of files).
Run it on your machine and see what it tells you.
This may not be a total answer to your question, but it will let you know
what AMD thinks your cpu is capable of doing.
