CPU - SIMD Error

[Neoszion]

Hi there,

A friend of mine I told him about the Passmark software as he was having problems in game with crashing and screen stuttering and also Lag.. He run the software on all applicable tests and passes all apart from the following:

CPU - SIMD | Cycles 130 | Operations 27.558 Billion | Errors 15 | Desription Incorrect 64bit 3DNow! Floating Point Result

Now the weired thing is he hasnt got a 64bit chip.. Would this be system drivers or can anyone else help me on it..

His Spec:

AMD 2600XP
1GB Corsair
Gigabyte MB - GA7N400Pro2
WD 36GB Raptor
ATI Radeon X800 AGP
QTEC Gold 550Watts PSU

This question is regarding BurnInTest (and not PerformanceTest).

A 32-bit CPU that supports 3DNow! has some specific 64 bit instructions (its just that the bulk of the CPU instructions are 32bit). The error "Incorrect 64bit 3DNow! floating point result" basically means that there is a CPU problem using some of the 3DNow! instructions. I would think that this could be heat related and if the system is overclocked, I would slow it down a fraction.

Ian
