Don't take any notice of people who tell you, "dual core are the way of the future". You want to play now, not in ten years time. Jack, isnt it?. Show me a cpu on the market (single) that out performs this guys cpu in games please. You cant! Can you? Back to thread; I would be asking this guy what resolutions he is running with AA etc and setting and suggest the guy check out the forum for this guys as they always have threads for this.

510550	2006-12-29 16:58:00	Jack, isnt it?. Show me a cpu on the market (single) that out performs this guys cpu in games please. You cant! Can you? AMD x2 4200+ insufficient resources. Dumped from game,even on low settings. AMD 4000+ No problems on full settings. The game: MS Flight Simulator plus FSINN plus Teamspeak.	JJJJJ (528)

Dumped from game,even on low settings. AMD 4000+ No problems on full settings. You probably just got a bad/unstable chip or some software conflict. I bet that if you tried a different DC CPU it will be fine. and BTW you didn't actually read SM's post... he said that beats THIS GUYS CPU (Intel Core 2 duo E6600) you can't, even running on half the CPU, these are little rippers. Infact I guarentee that I can play FS9 on my DC_WITH_NO_PROBLEMS	The_End_Of_Reality (334)
510552	2006-12-29 19:52:00	Hi trinsic. So does this mean that in total the processor is running at 4.90 GHz? No. Like has been said, lots of current stuff doesn't take advantage of the dual-core yet. Hah, a nice DC vs SC fight. :D Personally I think the problem is with those particular games. And I suggest you turn your game resolution down. That way you can still have all your game settings max. Try it.	pctek (84)

Jack, I understand how people judge via there own experiences, however that doesnt prove facts. There could be countless reasons why you had DC game issues. Firstly, you need the dual core driver for AMD chips. Secondly you can use affinity to lock to one core and Thirdly, the single core cpu you mention running @ a faster cycle than the other DC you mentioned. I would even be happy betting that the message you got has got nothing to do with the cpu and would instead be looking at memory and the settings. I really cant believe you are advocating the single core cpu's over dual core. Maybe before the Intel Core2, but certainly not now.	SolMiester (139)

I really cant believe you are advocating the single core cpu's over dual core. Maybe before the Intel Core2, but certainly not now. I have found the NFS games have irregular speed (speeding up and slowing down) without the AMD DC driver but the driver fixes that. Exactly. Affinity is a good way to emulate something running on a single core CPU And yes, I also agree that there is a speed difference in the CPUs that he mentioned which is why single threaded apps will run faster on the 4000+ I would also bet that too... give me the game and I will run it on my 4400+ and I bet I will have no problems. I also agree, DC CPUs have come a long way since they were first released and are now the leading CPUs as many reviews and benchmarks suggest. oh and BTW, that link that Daniel posted earlier is a comparison chart of most current CPUs (single and dual core) running WinRar winch is a single threaded application too and the DC CPUs	The_End_Of_Reality (334)
510555	2006-12-30 01:19:00	I really cant believe you are advocating the single core cpu's over dual core. Maybe before the Intel Core2, but certainly not now. Of course I'm not. I am only saying that for one particular game, under specific conditions, single core is a better proposition. AS a point of interest my computer was inspected by experts. Everything was checked and double checked. Drivers were changed etc. etc. Replacing the cpu was the last suggestion. And it is still possable to cause the game to shut down. But you've got to try hard to do it. I know that fs9 will run on a p3 500 with 256 megs ram. But when it is loaded with about 20 gigs of addons it needs more than a x2 4200+.	JJJJJ (528)
510556	2006-12-30 03:41:00	Dude, DC is better than SC CPUs. I run NFS Carbon fine without even lagging except nasties on the computer(Spyware and Viruses) Your specs are good but why can't you run games at a full power? My PC is kinda weak but can run new games OK.	PedalSlammer (8511)
510557	2006-12-30 06:50:00	The fact is DC is still much faster then a SC and all a game needs is a patch to fix current problems if it needs it. Just because a game runs slow or crashes when you have a DC doesn't mean DC is slower, it just means its not supported yet. DC and if I must say QC (Quad Core, which I don't think has been mentioned yet) are more advanced in everyway possible. Also in the years to come Intel want more cores per processor while AMD has said no to this as it will just be another war on who has more speed. I have totally forgotten the way AMD put it but they are in early stages of their next project.	trinsic (6945)
510558	2006-12-31 00:52:00	You must remember these games are asking for 3ghz single processors. You have TWO running at 2.45ghz so are far past the suggested. For frak Sakes, the lowest Core 2 Due E6300 running at 1.8gig SINGLE THREAD performace destroys a P4 3.0gig in ANY game you could pick. You guys have got to start reading some gaming benchmarks before posting drivel like this. Nothing wrong with your specs., except dual core cpu's and completely unsuitable for gaming. Don't take any notice of people who tell you, "dual core are the way of the future". You want to play now, not in ten years time. Can you please stop posting crap like this, you had a bad experience with AMD X2 in a flight sim. Did you not open up any of the benchmarks I spoon fed you in the last thread like this? Try reading and learning before posting! you are wrong!	Master_Frost (9951)
