Will this driver be a good idea? http://www.amd.com/us-en....00.html (http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_871_13118,00.html)
This is my driver version. 6.0.6000.16386. ***Driver date on 6/21/06, on my new computer with Vista. Can't see what this version on the site is. ***Thanks for any input.

If you mean the Dual Core Optimizer or just the Processor Driver?
I would get both the latest of them.

I mean the AMD Dual-Core Optimizer. ***I don't see any regular driver updates on here. ***Should I uninstall the old one or overwrite it? Never uninstalled an processor driver. ***I don't want to mess anything up. ***Is this cool for Vista? It's funny, I go to device manager click on update driver. It checks for any new version online. it always say's I'm up to date but I guess I'm not.
It really doesn't make much of a difference, if you got an older version it's good enough. Uninstalling the CPU doesn't do much either. Perhaps the only thing that changes is that it won't go to a lower frequency (if you even utilise that)
You do not need either one if you are running Vista - these are already built into the OS. If you are running XP, by all means do install these, especially the dual core optimizer.

No because its checking microsoft stuff not amd.com
