AMD Dual core Optimiser

[MadMatty]

Not sure if its known already (havent seen it mentioned in any recent threads) but there appears to be a new AMD Cool&Qiuet driver 1.3.2 as well as a new file for an Athlon dc Optimiser that is an extra program which runs in the startup. It appears to be similar to the old X2 microsoft hotfix. Ive installed both amd updates but not really noticed any issues/changes.

Using the URL above, get "AMD Athlon™ 64/FX Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (x86 and x64 exe) 1.3.2" .

This will setup any processor specific settings in windows and also the cool&quiet driver.

Then theres the Optional Dual Core optimiser at the top of the page. Im not 100% certain , but i belive that it would be an official replacement for the Microsoft dual core hotfix that used to be downloadable (id not used it).

I find the "AMD Power Monitor Version 1.0.1" useful also for quick changing of power profiles. (Set Minimal power to enable cool&quiet). I often need to set "Always On" if i want to play planetside else game crashes.
