AMD 64 x2 dual core processor 3800+ speed problem
I am having troubles with alot of games not being able to use the duel core and it acting like lag but instead of lag its in high speed i have an amd 3800+ dual core 64 any ideas? i know i had to get a patch with planetside to prevent this but i cant seem to find it on there website now if you could point me in the right direction thatd be great.

You stated some games are not using the dual core - you should know that software must be designed specifically for multi-core processors to use more than one core. Some games, especially older ones, will be no faster on a 2.8ghz dual core system than a similar 2.8ghz single core system.
That being said, look at how much memory your applications use. If, when running a game you notice problems with, you see that you have less than 20% of your memory available - or you see large swap file usage - buy more memory.
The next thing to improve is more expensive, but always helps: a video card. Get one with at least 512MB of memory, but be aware that more memory does not always mean more performance.
Increse your RAM to a heigher one.it is necessary to load large graphics.or insert a graphics card
