AMD Athlon™ Processor Quick Reference FAQ  
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)  
Recommendations for An AMD Athlon™ Processor-Based Computer  
Power Supplies and Computer Cases  
ONLY AMD RECOMMENDED POWER SUPPLIES SHOULD BE USED. FAIL-  
URE TO USE A RECOMMENDED POWER SUPPLY MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE  
TO YOUR MOTHERBOARD.  
For the most current information on power supplies and cases for your  
AMD Athlon processor-based system, be sure to refer to the configuration infor-  
mation page at the following URL:  
www1.amd.com/athlon/config  
Q. What size power supply will I need with my AMD Athlon processor?  
A. For a minimally configured low power-consumption system, you can use any of the  
approved power supplies listed on our website. A 250-watt power supply is the  
minimum but you need to estimate the system configuration requirements to  
ensure system stability. Minimally configured means: 128-Mbyte RAM, 16-Mbyte  
AGP graphics, internal V.90 modem, 10/100 NIC, floppy drive, CD-ROM or DVD,  
and 5400-RPM hard disk.  
If you are not certain of the final user-configuration, it is safer to install one of the  
approved 300-watt (or larger) power supplies listed on the recommended power  
su p p ly list in g. If t h e At h lon p roce ssor-b a se d syst e m will h ave m ore p owe r-  
consuming accessories than the basic minimum, we recommend you build your  
system using 300-watt (or larger) power supplies. By using a larger power supply,  
the system is also robust enough to handle future enhancements.  
For the latest recommended power supply list, you must consult our web site at:

AMD AthlonProcessor Quick Reference FAQ  
February 3, 2000  
Q. What do I need to consider when acquiring a computer case for my AMD Athlon  
processor and recommended ATX motherboard?  
A. You should consider the number of devices you plan to use before making your  
computer case purchase. The size of the tower case can have a direct impact on  
heat and cooling issues, and can limit the number of devices you can use. For an  
approved computer case list, you must consult our web site at:  
www1.amd.com/athlon/config  
When acquiring a computer case, make sure it has the following features:  
Designed for an ATX power supply and motherboard  
Has room for an additional rear cooling fan in the area of the processor  
Has the proper number of standoff posts for mounting your motherboard cor-  
rectly and that they are aligned properly as well  
Has easy side access that doesnt require removing all of the cables first  
Has good air ventilation for proper air circulation in the case  
Note: The AMD Athlon processor was not optimized to run in a desktop case. You  
should use an approved mid-tower, full tower, or server case only.  
Memory  
For the most current information on memory for your AMD Athlon processor-  
based system, be sure to refer to the configuration information page at the follow-  
ing URL:  
www1.amd.com/athlon/config  
Q. Can buffered memory be used with my AMD Athlon processor?  
A. No. Use unbuffered memory only.  
Q. I already have EDO memory or 66-MHz DIMM memory. Do I have to use PC-100-  
MHz DIMM memory to run my AMD Athlon processor?  
A. YES. The AMD Athlon processor does not run on EDO memory or 66-MHz DIMM  
memory. The AMD Athlon processor requires, at a minimum, PC-100-MHz memory.  
Table 1 outlines the PC-100 memory requirements.

Q. Can I mix different brands of memory in my computer?  
A. It is not advisable because some brands of memory are incompatible with other  
brands regardless of whether the speed is the same or not. We recommend that you  
use only one brand of memory in your computer system.  
Q. Can I mix different nanosecond speeds of my memory modules?  
A. Yes, but it is not advisable because the system will only use the memory speed of  
the slowest memory chip. In other words, if you had two 32-Mbyte 7 ns memory  
chips and one 32-Mbyte 8 ns chip, the system memory will operate at 8 ns. We  
re com m e n d you a cq u ire m e m ory m od u le s of t h e sa m e sp e e d for con sist e n t  
performance.  
Q. What is the minimum amount of memory I should use with my AMD Athlon  
processor?  
A. We recommend a minimum of 64 Mbytes of PC-100 memory to operate current  
software satisfactorily, but it is strongly recommended that you have 96 Mbytes to  
128 Mbytes (or more) in order to enjoy all of the benefits that the AMD Athlon  
processor has to offer you.

AMD AthlonProcessor Quick Reference FAQ  
February 3, 2000  
Q. Can I use generic or no-name brands of PC-100 memory with my AMD Athlon  
processor?  
A. We recommend that you do not use generic or no-name memory modules because  
you really dont know what youre getting or what type of quality control your  
memory chip was subjected to. There is no way to tell compatibility of one generic  
or no-name memory module with another module. We strongly recommend you  
purchase and use well-known and approved memory modules for the following  
reasons:  
Uniformity and consistency of the memory module  
Compatibility issues  
Warranty and technical support  
Verified specifications  
Heat and Cooling Issues  
Q. Are there any special requirements for keeping my AMD Athlon processor cool?  
A. Yes. As with any modern processor, as well as current peripherals and components,  
heat is always a problem to contend with. New hard drives and devices generate a  
su b st a n t ia l a m ou n t of h e a t , so you sh ou ld n eve r op e ra t e you r AMD At h lon  
processor without an approved processor heatsink and fan.  
In addition to the processor cooling fan, make sure you have a least one fan (not  
including the power supply fan) in your case that will reduce the temperature. We  
recommend that the fan be in the back of the case, drawing air over the processor,  
and exhausting the air out the back of the case.  
Many mid-tower cases allow at least one fan in the bottom-front. Since the power  
supply fan exhausts air out of the case, the additional fan in the bottom-front must  
draw air in.  
Muffin fans (case fans) are very inexpensive and easy to install. Just be sure to  
mount the fan in the proper direction based upon the airflow arrow that you will  
find on the outer fan housing.  
If you can install more than one fan, it is recommended that you have at least the  
same number of exhaust fans as draw fans. For example, in a full-tower case you  
can install two draw fans in the bottom-front and have two or three exhaust fans  
(including the power supply fan) in the top-back of the computer case. This  
arrangement provides excellent airflow throughout the case and reduces heat  
build-up. Be careful not to block the intake or exhaust of your fans.

AMD AthlonProcessor Quick Reference FAQ  
Installation of Your Motherboard  
Q. Are there any special requirements for installing my approved ATX motherboard?  
A. No. There are no special requirements for installing your ATX motherboard, but  
the following recommendations will help enable proper installation:  
Perform a dry-run installation of the motherboard into the case without the  
AMD Athlon processor or memory installed. Get familiar with how each com-  
ponent positions itself and where the standoffs will fit.  
If possible, install the processor module in the motherboard before installing  
the motherboard in the PC case. Place the motherboard on a softer surface like  
foam from the box or cardboard during this process. This is not possible with  
some cases where you cannot install the motherboard with the processor mod-  
ule on it due to power supply clearance or other problems.  
Do not plug the power supply into a wall outlet until all the components have  
been installed and cables are attached. This is because there is power in the  
system as soon as it is plugged into the wall, even when the power switch is  
turned off.  
If there is not a heatsink support on the motherboard, install the heatsink sup-  
port that is supplied with the AMD Athlon Processor-in-a-Box.  
Do not install the motherboard in the case with memory installed. You may  
damage the components when installing the standoff screws.  
Use as many of the mounting postholes in your motherboard as possible. If you  
cannot use all the mounting holes in the motherboard, place non-metal spacers  
between the bottom of the motherboard and the case (of the same size as a  
standoff) to take up the slack.  
Do not over-tighten the metal standoffs into the computer case.  
Do not over-tighten the metal screws that fit into the metal standoffs.  
Do not use screws for the metal standoffs that are the same size or larger than  
the solder ring around the mounting hole in the motherboard. (This could lead  
to damaging or shorting out of your motherboard.)  
Using UDMA/66 (ATA-66) or UDMA/33 (ATA-33) Devices  
Q. Can the AMD Athlon processor-based systems be used with UDMA/66 (ATA-66)  
devices (i.e. hard drives)?  
5
AMD AthlonProcessor Quick Reference FAQ  
February 3, 2000  
A. Yes. The UDMA/66 capability of your motherboard is contingent on three factors:  
Your motherboard supports UDMA/66  
You are using a UDMA/66 device  
You have the newer UDMA/66 cable  
If the wrong cable is used, you will experience corrupted installations and loading  
of programs, system lockups, and various other types of failures.  
If you are using UDMA/33 (ATA-33) devices, your motherboard will automatically  
default to UDMA/33 (as long as the motherboard supports UDMA/33 as well).  
Installing the AMD AthlonProcessor on the Motherboard  
Q. Is there any special way to install the AMD Athlon processor on my motherboard?  
A. Yes. Refer to the AMD Athlon Processor Installation Guide that comes with your  
AMD Athlon Processor-in-a-Box product.  
Installing IDE and Diskette Drive Cables  
Q. How do I install my IDE and floppy drive cables on my motherboard?  
A. Most cables supplied by motherboard manufacturers have a tooth or key in the  
center of the end of the cable connector that matches up against the notch cutout  
on the connector end of the device youre hooking the cable connector up to (i.e.  
hard drive, CD-ROM, etc).  
If there is no key on your IDE or diskette drive cable, use the red stripe located on  
the side of the cable as a guide. The red stripe should correspond to pin one on the  
cable connector. The pin number location is printed on the motherboard.  
Installing a Previously Configured Hard Drive  
Q. Can I use my original, preconfigured hard drive from my old computer since it  
already has all my programs and stuff loaded on it?  
A. To optimize the performance of your new AMD Athlon processor-based system, you  
sh ou ld u se a n ew h igh -p e r for m a n ce d r ive (U DMA/66 or U lt ra -SCSI) a s you r  
primary drive. Then use your older drive as a secondary drive so you can access  
your current data.  
If you wish to use your current drive as your primary drive, we strongly recom-  
mend you back up all your valuable data and critical files first before attempting  
this. Most of the time, you will be able to transfer the drive from a recently built  
6

AMD AthlonProcessor Quick Reference FAQ  
system to your new AMD Athlon processor-based system with no problems. Drives  
from some systems (especially older systems) will not tolerate this. (Subtle varia-  
tions can occur in the specifications like signal timing and intensity between two  
different controllers.) Even if the drive will work, you should expect to load cur-  
rent drivers and reload some of your software.  
Ideally, to reuse an old drive, you should departition and repartition the hard  
drive (using the FDISK command), and format the drive (using the FORMAT com-  
mand). Then do a fresh installation of your operating system, install the  
AMD Athlon platform-specific drivers, and install the applications. This way, your  
system is loaded with the settings and configuration that your motherboard and  
the AMD Athlon processor-based system require. Your data (but not operating sys-  
tem or applications) can then be copied from your backups.  
Motherboard Drivers  
Please note that with constantly changing specifications and enhancements, moth-  
erboard drivers are subject to being updated. Check the configuration information  
web page at the following URL for updates:  
www1.amd.com/athlon/config  
Q. Do I need any special motherboard drivers for proper installation of my  
AMD Athlon processor and motherboard? If so, what are they and where do I get  
them?  
A. Yes. To date there are two drivers designed for motherboards for proper  
installation and performance of your operating system(s) and hardware with the  
AMD Athlon processor. The motherboard drivers should have been included on the  
floppy disk or CD_ROM that was included with your motherboard. Table 2 shows  
the versions of these drivers as of August 6th, 1999.

Installation of Your Operating SystemWhat Hardware to Install  
Q. Are there any BIOS settings that I need to make?  
A. In most BIOSs, under a title like PNP/PCI Configuration, there is usually an option  
like PNP OS Installed Yes/No. If you are running Windows 95 or Windows 98, this  
option should be set to Yes or Enabled. If you are running Windows NT, this option  
should be set to No or Disabled.  
Q. What hardware should I have in my computer when I am ready to load my  
operating system?  
A. We strongly recommend that you have no more than the following peripherals and  
components installed at the time you load your operating system:  
Processor and heatsink with fan  
Case exhaust fan (if possible with your case)  
Recommended memory module (use only one to start with)  
VGA-capable graphics card  
Hard drive  
CD-ROM drive  
Diskette Drive  
Keyboard  
Mouse  
We recommend only these core components because if you can't get the operating  
system to properly load and configure with these core components, you will have  
more problems with other devices installed. Having a sound card, 3D graphics  
accelerator, modem, or other devices would only confuse the diagnostic process.  
After your operating system has been successfully loaded, make sure that you set  
your video card up in generic VGA mode. Do not load your video card drivers until  
you have loaded all motherboard drivers. You will need to load the following spe-  
cific motherboard drivers before you should continue loading your additional  
hardware and software:  
AGP Miniport Driver, Version 4.45  
(Windows 95 and Windows 98, not required for Windows NT)  
IDE Bus Master Driver, Version 1.22  
(For motherboards with the AMD-756peripheral bus controller)  
Once these two drivers are loaded, you will be ready to continue installing compo-  
nents, software, and configuring your system. Just be sure to reset your computer  
system after loading each of these drivers for successful installation and configu-  
ration.

AMD AthlonProcessor Quick Reference FAQ  
Migrating Peripherals and Components  
Q. Can I use all of my peripherals and components presently in my old computer in my  
new AMD Athlon computer?  
First, you must understand that the AMD Athlon is a new generation of processor  
that also requires a new generation of motherboard. Check with the device vendor  
to see if they have developed drivers for AMD Athlon processor-based systems.  
A. However, some components, peripherals, and software presently compatible in  
your older computer:  
May not have current fixes or drivers for satisfactory performance  
May not work with various software applications  
May experience intermittent problems  
May not be compatible  
For these reasons, it is important to check the AMD web site at  
www1.amd.com/athlon/config for the most up-to-date list of recommended compo-  
nents and drivers.  
Q. What about compatibility issues with legacy or end-of-life components and my  
AMD Athlon computer?  
A. Legacy or end-of-life (EOL) components and peripherals are usually no longer  
supported by their manufacturers. In many cases, modern software cannot be used  
with them, especially current operating systems and application software. In most  
ca se s, d r ive rs a re n o lon ge r re se a rch e d a n d d eve lop e d for le ga cy a n d E OL  
components.  
In order to get the best performance from your AMD Athlon processor and recom-  
mended motherboard, we recommend using current-production components and  
peripherals that support the AMD Athlon processor. Again, for these reasons, it is  
very important to check the AMD web site at www1.amd.com/athlon/config for the  
most up-to-date list of compatible components, peripherals, and drivers.  
ISA ComponentsLimitations  
Q. Can I use my older ISA components, such as an ISA video card?  
A. Most will work, however, there are specific limitations of older generation, legacy,  
and end-of-life com ponents (i.e. ISA video cards, etc). Check with the device  
vendor to see if they h ave d eveloped drivers for AMD Athlon processor-based  
systems.

Miscellaneous Rules to PracticeIdeas, Tips, and Important Information  
Q. Is there anything else I should know before I build my AMD Athlon processor-  
based computer?  
A. Well, there are hundreds of tips and suggestions that we could make but there just  
isnt enough room. Thats what our web site is all about. By visiting our web site  
regularly, you will be able to keep up on all the new information, building tips, and  
suggestions to optimize your computer and its performance. On our web site you  
will find just a few of these helpful and constructive areas:  
Listings of recommended peripherals, components, and accessories that are  
updated on a regular basis  
Installation and configuration recommendations, tips, and information that is  
updated on a regular basis  
Setup and optimizing ideas and tips to make your AMD Athlon processor run  
at its very best  
New products and information releases regarding your AMD Athlon to keep  
you up to date  
Up-to-date listings and links of drivers for your approved motherboards  
FAQs, updated on a regular basis, to assist you in many aspects of building and  
maintaining your AMD Athlon processor-based computer  
The e-mail address and telephone number for competent and qualified techni-  
cal support  
Here are a few immediate tips or suggestions:  
Before you start working on your computer or handling sensitive components,  
always use some type of static protection. Static is the number one killer of  
electrical components and parts. A simple wristband static protection device  
(that plugs into a regular electrical wall socket) will cost around $40.00. It will  
be the best investment you can make for your future computer building  
endeavors.  
Never add or remove any device, peripheral, accessory, component, cable, or  
mouse while the system is plugged into the wall.  
Anytime that you load a program, application or utility, when you have com-  
pleted loading it, properly exit and shut your system down completely. This  
allows you to purge the system memory completely and results in the most suc-  
cessful installation of your software. This is especially true when you have  
loaded a big application and the system doesnt ask to be reset.  
Do not try to build your whole computer system in a night. Take your time.  
Build it in stages. Most mistakes will be made when you are tired. Learn to take  
breaks, and most important, learn to call it quits for the day.
