AMD CPU Question

[ImTorey]

I have an old AMD Athlon 64x2 5600+

I was wondering if there is any type of driver for this CPU?

I'm using Windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate, but I remember on Windows XP there was this thing I needed called (dual core optimizer) I think with Vista/7 they got rid of the need for that but was wondering if there was anything else, I've been missing for years.

You don't need anything for Windows 7. The dual core optimizer you're speaking of was the download AMD put out to help with gaming performance in WinXP for applications that bypassed the Windows API for timing. It's not needed (nor is anything else) for anything newer than XP.

Thanks, I didn't think so just didn't want to be missing out on something. I remember a few games that were buggy before the dual core optimizer back then. Was a nice fix.
