Hmm... so even if windows Xp doesnt support dual core processors on a single socket leading to timing issues it would still be faster than a FX Single core chipset running a game thats only design to use one core ? Ive seen benchmarks were the FX-57 was faster in FPS on single core games...
I am looking a building a game specific computer that will be running a single core supported game with no future dual core support for it. Would a FX-57 knowing that its the fastest processor for single core games be faster than one core of a C2D.
If i have a game that only supports single core processors with no future Dual core support. Wouldnt i be able to run the game better with a AMD FX-57 than a dual core?
