AMD Dual-Core Optimizer Version 1.1.4 - The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer can help improve some PC gaming video performance by compensating for those applications that bypass the Windows API for timing by directly using the RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) instruction. Applications that rely on RDTSC do not benefit from the logic in the operating system to properly account for the affect of power management mechanisms on the rate at which a processor core's Time Stamp Counter (TSC) is incremented. The AMD Dual-Core Optimizer helps to correct the resulting video performance effects or other incorrect timing effects that these applications may experience on dual-core processor systems, by periodically adjusting the core time-stamp-counters, so that they are synchronized.

Please let us know if it helps. I remember the AMD dual core optimizer for my socket 939 Opty and 4200X2...it didn't do any thing and after a while I just stopped installing it because I read a few post that people were having problems after installing it.

Hmm...I wonder if this new version will work on my old Opty?

Looks like it should...

And what about us 939ers? or is it only for Am2?

Hmm, interesting... I think I'll wait to hear if anyone notices any differences with this before I download it.

And out of curiosity, has anyone downloaded these other AMD programs? And if so, how are they?
