How much worse is the amd athlon 64 x2 architecture than the new intels? Im running my 3800 x2 am2 at 2.81 and would have thought my fps would be better, right now the fluctuate from 25-36 dropping to 19 sometimes for about 10 seconds when high detail scenery loads. I would have thought I would see much better, has amd really fallen that much behind? This scenario was with the pmdg 738 flying from widup's kslc to simflyers klas. After I landed the fps rose back up to 22-25, but nothing spectacular.

In most reviews I've seen, an E6600 is about equal to a AMD FX62 a E6700 faster, and a X6800 blows it away!! BTW I have a E6700 and am very happy with it! Even in FSX!

Hmm i thought at 2.81 my amd would be fine for fs and i would be getting spectacular fps, but i guess not. #### I wish i could do it all over and get an intel.
