Sam,
You are absolutely correct. The day of it's supposed Final release, thousands of AMDs had massive problems. That's another strike against Beta software! That's what made Win 95 such a huge disappointment. The final Beta of it was super good, and the Official release lacked most of the nice features the final Beta had! It was like a "Broken Promise"! SP3 sucks just as bad on AMDs as it does on Intels, in terms of speed. I haven't used SP3 with XP-Pro since I found it was suddenly much slower than before. Roughly about 20% slower. It makes sense as Vista is about 10% faster than XP now, and XP was about 10% faster before what ever Microsoft did to it!

From the very beginning I've used the AMD Dual Core Optimizer for Windows XP. It's a fix for a loss in clock-sync for multi-core AMDs in XP and works for AMD quads as well. It helps them operate more efficiently in multi-threaded games and helps XP better balance the load on all cores. AMDs have always seemed slightly snappier for me in XP due(in small part) to this fix, my strict rule of low latency memory for AMDs, and obviously the integrated memory controller. They've always had faster memory throughput, but Intels still definitely take the win in raw application performance.

Can I have an example? Any benchmarks or apps that take a noticeable hit? I have some of my scores from before SP3 and it would be interesting to know what this slow down affects. Now that you've mentioned this I want to see a comparison XD
EDIT: It hasn't affected my SuperPI times at all. If anything, they've gotten maybe .2-.5 seconds faster than SP2. If there's a performance drop for SP3 I'm not experiencing it. Everything performs exactly as it should.
LOL I'm addicted to GOM Player now. I use it for everything and it works on ogg vorbis, MKV, DivX, etc. Basically everything but FLAC so far as I can see. It's even my default music player now as the mp3 skin is so simplistic yet useful. It remembers your music directory too so all you need to do is hit "add" and "OK" to load up your songs after the first use. It can actually find its own custom video codecs too. Unlike WMP which needs third party codecs. It's also super resource light and works flawlessly even with movies that are normally glitchy at best in other players. 64MB memory usage right now playing Saving Private Ryan in 720p HD.

Estuansis,
I wouldn't know where to begin looking. One of the things I like to do is play with google. It's amazing just how many variations of the same theme you can come up with. It's all in how you phrase and paraphrase your request! Sometimes, it can be just one word added or removed that turns up something you didn't expect. I generally just paste the links to Notepad, and post them. I almost never save them. I've already checked my PMs, which took hours, and couldn't locate the post. Add to that, it could be on any one of 4 threads, and you begin to see the problem in finding anything, let alone something that old.
With my E6750, I found my superPi improve with the good SP3, and was about the same speed as yours! 1MB superPi was in the 13.84 second range at 3.55GHz, memory at 5-5-5-15, at 1066MHz and a memory bandwith a hair away from 8200, that's right in E8400 country! Before sombody pops of and tells me that the E8400 can go much faster than the E6750, I already know that! Not too shabby for only 1MB of L2 and 2MB of L3! I had it booted up and running at 3.8GHz, and was just starting to fool with it a bit when I found out it was sold. I back to 3.55GHz, as soon as I got off of the phone. I know that at 3.8GHz, even with the memory underclocked and the memory timings tightened, it's easily in the 12 second bracket. Mid 12s! OK, back to the AMD for a moment!
Here's the part I don't understand. I run the benchmarks and look at the numbers, and they are horrible! Yet when I use it for anything, there's very little it does slower than the E6750 did. It sucks to a degree at compressing a Win.rar file, so maybe it takes a minute longer. I don't sit there and watch the file compress, I do the next step to what I'm planning on doing with the compressed file. It's not like you have to sit and wait for it! With video encoding with the new motherboard, with DVDRB/CCE, 2 pass, it wipes the floor with the E6750 that runs .55MHz faster. My personal test CD, Lost in space (7.2GB) shaved an incredible 11 minutes off of my best encode time for that DVD, from 41 to 30 minutes! I have my 9500GT video card overclocked to 594MHz Core clock, 1512MHz Shader clock and 1728MHz memory clock, from 550, 1400 and 1600MHz! I get scores of 14,449 in 3D mark 03, and 7973 in 06! I can't wait to see what it's going to do with the new 7750BE when it comes from AMD. I had the 7750 running at 3.4GHz before the motherboard problems. After that it never went over 3.2GHz, and towards the end I finally had to lower it to 3.1 and then 3.0GHz. I guess something to do with what was wrong with the chipset, messed up the CPU! Note that that's the speed at the time of the above encode and 3D marks as well! How can a machine that scores 25-27% less MIPS than the E6750, do that? I can't wait until I get a Phenom II 940 for it this summer! I like it, and that's all that's matters to me. If I don't care, why should that matter to others! It's none of their business!
Best Regards,
Russ

I have VIRTUALLY no complaints thus far! In fact, it multitasks like a dream LOL! Its given me better encode times with Rebuilder than I could have hoped for. VERY satisfied. I ended up in a crunch moment today, and ended up doing at least a half dozen things at one time, and it still was showing only 25% cpu usage on the windows 7 gadget. I realize some tasks vary as to how much strain they put on a cpu. It's still impressive LOL!

Interesting, perhaps with the SP2 built Vista they removed the sections where you sit at a blank screen for 10 minutes? That's a lot of the install time.
The reason I made the point about XP SP3 is that I never noticed SP3 being any slower than SP2. I've yet to install SP3 on my XP PC, as it's shortly going to be upgraded to Win7.
I'm still on MediaPlayerClassic for FLAC, MKV, MP3, AVI, you name it.
Rule of thumb Russ, if you run synthetic benchmarks and get worse scores than real life, don't use synthetic benchmarks. Time taken to for example, rip a DVD is one of several 'real life' benchmarks that sites use, and and such tests are what I look at far more closely than synthetic tests for this very reason, they're more accurate, and they're also what people are actually likely to use their CPUs for!

LOL Windows 7 is turning out Awesome! It took all of 12-15 minutes to install on my Crossfire machine. Works with all of my hardware including Crossfire and even my X-Fi sound card which Vista was extremely picky with.
I rather like the Vista taskbar over 7 though. The Superbar is different for once, but functionally, the original fits my style of computing better and still looks nice.

Russ,
I dont know what I did right this time. LOL! I haven't seen XP run this smooth in a very long time. I click the Web button on my keyboard, and its opening up FAST!!! And I mean FAST!!! If it were any faster, I would think my computer is psychic LOL! SP3 is one of the first tasks I performed. I wanted to get that out of the way(curiosity). I definitely won't be throwing out XP for quite some time! Much like im sure people still employ windows 2000. Didn't get to play with that one much. Mostly just at work :) Thats the OS my last job chiefly used. I thought that SP3 mainly addressed, Video, and security issues. Why do people complain about Sp3 soo much. Something tells me there is nothing wrong with the update itself, but when its used. Apparently timing may be everything in this case.
I suppose windows 95 and XP are what im most familiar with. My mother got an Acer when I was 15. It had a 133mhz cpu, 1.19gb HDD, Windows 95. Probably only a few mb of ram LOL. Too young to recall that figure. given the time frame it couldnt have been much more than 33mb though. Thinking back, it wasn't that bad though. It had multiple good games installed at one point. Doom, Heretic, Abuse, Tyrian, etc. Ahhh...memories LOL!

Oman7,
Most likely 128 or 256MB in those days. It was a bit rare to see more, and the computers of that vintage all ran fine on them! Get rid of the C++ and write Windows in machine language, and you could forget all about the bloatware. Costs money though, and perish the thought that BG might make a few less millions! LOL!!
I don't know about other people's problems with SP3, but I just don't get the same speed as I used to. Maybe it was co-incidental, but it was reported to happen right after XP whipped Vista's butt in several shoot-outs. It's only affected me now, and that happened 6-8 months ago!

My best guess is that it's an incompatibility with your specific hardware or software. If you are experiencing slowdowns, and everybody else is not, they are either minuscule or you have an issue on your machine only. Has this come up again after a reformat? How about with different HDDs? Sometimes the weirdest things can cause speed issues.
Just saw Taken in 720p HD today. Amazing movie. LOL brutal take-downs like every 5 minutes. Kicks a knife into this guys stomach XD

Estuansis,
See. that's the thing. I have XP Pro on two drives and I can select either one. One has been installed for quite a while. In fact I completely wiped the drive with Killdisk, set up the drive and installed XP-Pro, SP2 on it. I let it update to SP3, and when using that drive, it's noticeably slower. I wiped the drive and set it up again, and I'll try it when the new CPU comes. With the older one, it does about 3000 MIPS better in Sandra, and that's at 3.2GHz. It can't be the CPU as it and everything else was the same. The data transfer rates of both drives are almost exact. I've also used the Seagate Disk Manager to make sure that the caches didn't get turned off some how! I tried new sata cables, switching ports, Same story! I just have no clue! Whatever is different, on that install. I'll find it if I have to put the upgrades in one at a time until I do! LOL

Ouch, 3000 MIPS is a big drop considering my 7750BE does about 21,500. What does yours normally do?
If you can find the culprit I'd be very interested to find it out.

Estuansis,
About 25,000 @3.2gHz and about 22,000 with the slow one! SuperPi 1M is under 25 sec! Not very common I understand as it's one of the things that AMDs suck at! It sure does get people's attention when you post an under 25 sec 1M superPi! LOL!!
I'll find what upgrade is causing it, but it's going to take time as the only way I know that you can put them in 1 at a time is to uncheck all but one upgrade and try it. Then you have to wait for MS to upload another!
Best Regards,
Russ

Umm wow.... wtf... exactly 25 seconds SuperPI for mine at 3.2GHz. 21,500 MIPS... Wow... I must have had the same slowdown on this machine and never noticed it. Now I am VERY interested in seeing what the culprit is. Please notify me if or when you find out what causes it. I'd be very appreciative.

Estuansis,
24.846 seconds at 3.2GHz, 24,967 MIPS to be exact, and a hair below 22,000 MIPS at 3.0GHz! Finding out what's causing the problem is going to be a challenge though! LOL!! I will find it though. It's become a "Moral Imperative"! Can't be any harder than replacing the keypad on my V55 Motorola cell phone last night though, and that was a challenge. Never had one apart before, and I don't want to do one again! ROFLMSOAO!!
Best Regards,
Russ
