He tells me, he plays Dark Age of Camelot in his free time. He then tells me, the PC we built him, 4200+ X2, zones slower than his 3200+ Barton. Would anyone have any idea why this would be happening?
 
Both PC's have 2GB of ram, The 4200+ has a 7800GT for a video card, and a A8N-SLI Deluxe mobo.
 
Slow harddrive, fubared windows installation etc. can slow down zoning, fragmented partition can also contribute to slow zoning. Not up-to-date drivers can also cause this.

The 4200+ has 2x 80gb 7200 Serial ATA150's

I installed windows on both personally. They both have up-to-date drivers.
 
Did you install the Microsoft hotfix/AMD patch for dual cores?

Try setting affinity to one core and see how the game plays. Also, has he updated the game with all the latest patches from the game vendor?
 
Either the problem is just in his mind or he has turned up the game settings so high that performance suffers to this degree.
