I am about to upgrade my PC and have some recollection that Templot doesn't run well with certain processors. Is this still the case? I am considering a Dell with an AMD Sempron processor

 

Many thanks

Hi Tim,

There is a problem with some VIA processors, and the old Cyrix 6x86, both of which are optimised for integer arithmetic rather than floating-point maths. Reports are mixed, so I think there may be a motherboard jumper or BIOS setting involved. The VIA processors are intended for "silent" living-room computer/audio-visual systems.

As far as I know, all AMD and Intel processors are fine for Templot. If there was any problem running Templot on AMD Sempron I'm sure I would have heard about it by now. Obviously I can't buy every computer on the market to test Templot, so I can't say with absolute cast-iron certainty. I can say that Templot is fine on AMD Athlon, Duron and Turion, because it's running on those here.

regards,

Martin.

Tim,

 

Templot runs fine on my system using an AMD 64 processor, so I don't see any potential problem with a Sempron.  I can't speak for Dell and how they build systems (and what they load on to them) because mine is home built.
