I had a 3500 Venice (Bench says a little better then CH)
It ran SH3 very nice (2X1024DDR400, X850XT OCed VC)
I dropped in a 4600 DC and it was a big jump.
The reason is DC optimizes what is happening. It can direct SH3 to the unused core while the other runs the constant background stuff.
The bench for a FX-55 is half way between the 3500SC and 4600DC
It should be faster if the, "DC does not help SH3" crowd was correct. Iy is not, not even close!!
One must get the DC optimizer from AMD when installing to make this happen. It is free and only a few MBs so is not hard for dial uppers.
