I am thingking of getting a Thunder K8WE (S2895)

I am thinking of getting a Thunder K8WE (S2895) dual opteron Motherboard, with two 2.0GHZ opteron dual core CPU's will i be able to run Windows XP 32 bit on that? and will it help me during gaming? will i be able to play older single CPU based games like halo, and battle field 1942? I'm mostly getting this to say i have 2 CPU's and 4 cores... but i would love a fairly cheap blazing fast computer, as my laptops fine, but its only a mobile sempron 3000 maxed out at 2 GB ram..
also reccommend a good SATA hard drive? is it different than using an ATA (IDE)133 HD?

Hi!

Of course it can run Windows Xp 32 bit. The computer specification is much higher for the operating system to run and there can be no problem for it.

About the hard drive, it depends upon it RPM (Rotate Per Minute) and it's data access time. I think SATA drive is good to use.

Hope it helps..

Thank you for reaching Fixya.

Please leave comments for further assistance.

Intel cpu comparable to "Dual Core AMD Opteron 1212HE"

This is an AMD 2nd generation Opteron CPU, running at 2GHz. It is a single core device. So a comparison would be against Intel business CPU - the Xeon, again compare against a single core.

Os istallation problem

Hi Prashant

This will apply is you are using a SATA drive and are attempting to install Windows XP:

In the box your motherboard came in, there should be a 1.44Mb floppy disk (Also called a stiffy). This will have the driver for XP to be able to read your SATA controller. If you do not have this "stiffy", either contact the hardware manufacturer or check their website for a download.

When Windows XP setup starts, and you are greeted with the blue screen, press the "F6" button when prompted to do so - to make XP setup allow you to install a 3rd party driver SCSI or RAID controlled. This you have to do within a few seconds of setup starting, so make sure to look carefully. The message will appear in the bottom of the screen.

This applies for IDE / ATA HDD:

Ensure that the HDD is being properly picked up by the BIOS. If not, ensure that all connections are good. If they are, test with another, known good, HDD to check whether your HDD is not maybe at fault.
