To my dissappointment my 'AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 3800' has

.....I actually found my original AMD 64 Processor 3200+
(the one with 1 MiB L2 cache) to be probably the best CPU
I ever had and I think just as capable as my X2.
What software do you run that stresses your current CPU? Do you not get
I/O bound?
How much memory do you need? Intel shares the memory controller with
each CPU whereas AMD gives you a memory controller built into each CPU
(core?).
