Default AMD Dual Core optimizer - Not really!!
Has anybody experienced this? The latest version of DCO(August 2008), really sucks. Did 3dm06 with both and the older version still kicks it with +-200 points!

Come on AMD! Make me want you!

I have no idea how that utility works but it seems like it optimizes your game/software to use both cores.

I can see how that would hurt your score/gaming if the software itself, isn't designed to use two cores....

Thats all I can think of.

Pretty sure you only need that if you are running XP. Vista automatically utilizes multiple cores efficiently.

I noticed a drop in Ram usage at idle, also CPU seemed to run a little smoother too after I installed it, I find this to be a plus
