    AMD Dual core problem?

    I just got my new computer:

    AMD 4400+ X2
    7900GTX
    2Gig Memory

    Everything is fresh install.

    When I play multiplayer or single player, the game is choppy (stuttering) even if my FPS looks good (60 - 90).

    I have read many posts on that (too many I guess). I just want to know if the solution is to install the AMD dual core patch (AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP x64 Edition and Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions Version (exe) 1.2.2.) found here:

    AMD delivers leadership high-performance and adaptive computing solutions to advance data center AI, AI PCs, intelligent edge devices, gaming, & beyond.


    Some people are also talking about a Windows Patch for dual core too. What is that one and do I have to install it?

    Help will be very appreciated.

    If you are running Windows x64 then inistall the first one. If you are running regular XP or Home, then install the second one.

      I'm running Windows XP Home 32bit (normal one). My CPU is 4400+ X2 64bits.

      Is not the first link for Windows XP 32 bits where it says:

      AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (exe) 1.2.2

      They are not mentionning Windows 64 bits specifically.

      If have to install the Windows Patch for dual core, where can I find it?

      Anyone?

              Agian, when you say X2 hot Fix, do you mean this:

              http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/..._13118,00.html

              or

                I dont have a dual core, so no experience first hand. But i would read this....

                Here is how to get your dual core AMD system running like it should with no hitches and stibility issues..............since the new AMD DUAL CORE OPTIMIZER came out people say you dont need the MS HOTFIX anymore, i dont know if this is true or not, but i tested these fixes with and without one another, and found they work better together, giving an increase in performance.....but thats from my personal expierience......try for yourself, i recomend installing both the MS HOTFIX and the AMD DUAL
