[asking] AMD A10-5800K with Win7

[aibenq]

Hi, I'm just asking around, but it's kinda bothering me...

I already prepare a budget to get a AMD system to replace my very old computer, Intel Pentium 4 Northwood 2GHz of mine with AMD APU TRINITY A10-5800K...

the reason is simple, I need brand new computer for coupe up with my need, specially graphic design thing. I often use Adobe Illustrator and my office are use CS5. the file that I work is very heavy due CMYK workflow and very large format, and as you know, there is no way I can install Adobe CS5 on my Pentium 4... even it's still Windows XP SP2.

but before I replace it, there is one issue that bothering me. after AMD FX Processor, FX-8150 is launched, there is a problems with windows 7 for the perfomance due "module" flow for processing. And for fixing those issue, windows launched the hotfix.

I kinda worried, are this problem will happen in A10-5800K in Windows 7 that not installed with the hotfix??? because I still confuse what windows that I should install... or better I install Windows 8?

please help me guys...

No problem with the A10 like the FX, you will be fine with Win7.

No need for the hotfix, it was only for the FX.

The hotfix is for any CPU/APU with the module architecture. That includes FX and A10, and any Bulldozer/Piledriver based CPU.

It's not a required hotfix. It just helped speed some applications slightly by prioritizing which cores get loaded first.
