Very large? My Abit came with one too but it wasn't anything large at all. I beleive it's for the "Cool and Quiet" technology... I might be wrong but both my desktop and laptop had something.

The driver is in the ballpark of 30K. Dont quite seeing that as being massive.

Hahah....you may be reading the numbers wrong. Note that 1MB is 1024KB. 1KB is 8Kb. I am 10000% sure its not the size you are saying it is

It? The processor driver is located in C:\Windows\System32\Driver and you can check for yourself

spacedude89 · 05-22-2005, 08:16 PM

hmm, i what looking at c:/programs/amd, it is a small file,
i will check there when i get home praetor...
