Hey, since you're new to the solution of the double timing, probably you
don't even know anything about the more problematic ACPI bug with the
ATI Xpress 200M chipset.
If you want to preserve your Turion64, pay a visit to:

Here fglrx 8.27.10 is working fine... about 480 fps, not 600 but that's
not bad.
