• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

I am considering purchasing an AMD X2 6000 dual core for under 70.00. I have a 4000+ San Diego single core now. I am not considering a new MB or other stuff other than RAM. I read a while back that the dual core cpus and CS3 have problems. Could someone explain this once again? Is there an advantage in doing this? I will upgrade from 32 bit to 64 as well.

Thanks!
 
Well Ted I have a quad core and no problems. There were some old posts on dual core as you said, but no one seems to have posted anything recently and many must have dual/quds now.
 
Ted I have been running a dual core AMD about 3 years. Intially there was a problem, but there was a fix released by AMD when the problem was 1st identified. I have heard 3rd hand that Service pack 3 includes the fix so there is no need to grab the amd patch.(?)
 
Windows XP SP3 does indeed have a fix for multi core processors. I run a Core 2 Duo E8500 and have had 0 problems.

Likewise, I'm running a dual core E8200 setup on which CFS3 installed with no patches/fixes required - latest variants of XP (even SP2) handled cfs3 fine.
