Welcome to our blog. This blog is from the Developer Performance Team at AMD. We will mostly concentrate on software optimization and performance topics. Certainly other areas related to software development and AMD products in general may be touched on. We may also dive in to hardware performance especially as it relates to I/O and how to extract the best performance from it from a software perspective.

Please do give us feedback as to the topics you'd like to see discussed, and your overall opinions of the blog.

Hello "AMD",

Hope all is well with sales & over all business. Listen, I had a question, that I need to breakdown with alittle background information, thus, so you'll will more able & aware to help me.

I got a single processor (Sempron 3200+, 1.79 GHz), running out of a PC computer tower case of: "Compaq" Presario SR1810NX, with "Windows XP Home Edition" and "IE6 (don't want & don't like IE 7) and with a total ram of 1.18 GB, C drive = NTFS, free - (70.1 GB), used - (16.1 GB) with a total of: (86.3 GB) as of Sunday, 08/12/07, 1:03pm, and have had it for a couple of year's now & like to have 'much' background stuff running = 'processes', BUT, I know and/or heard that with a single processor, one shouldn't have more than (16 - 17) processes running, (according to Task Manager, in the bottom left hand corner). I am running running (54), as of: Sunday, 08/12/07, 1:06pm.I do want to eventually go out and but a 'quad-core', and then have built - a computer around (it), thus, to be able to mutli-task without any slowing or dragging, etc.; that's 4 processor's instead of merely one, one which feels like dial-up internet service, which I have (DSL High Service). But I need to way turn up clock speed, which now is alittle hard, unless and/or until I go out and but a 'quad-core', and then have built - a computer around (it). And I use my PC for home use/home user. There's alot of program's & stuff I'd like to have installed & running at start-up & running in the background, say, (100) maybe, but I can not allow that under the current/present use of this single processor. I do have the installed program's of: AMD Clock - (currently/presently CPU0 1800 MHz), AMD CPU Setup (2.82 MB), CPU Setup (8.08 MB), AMD DashBoard, AMD MCat Setup and AMD Power Setup, (and I do cleaning scan's daily, clear internet stuff, disk up up, disk defrag, check for updates, and much more like a tech, even with a "Belarc" computer profile, breakdown & showing all the stuff & info on & of my PC). So my question is: whatelse can I do or get in & of a free download - anywhere online that might help, even if small, to increase my AMD Sempron 3200+, 1.79 GHz, clock speed, at least until I can get around to getting that ideal 'quad-core'? Thank you so very much in advance, good day. jeffreydavidmorris @ myway.com
