Why is there such a huge performance difference between single and dual core on single threaded applications/games e.g. the fx-55 vs fx-60 same clock same memory huge difference http://www23.tomshardware.com/cpu_2006.html?modelx=33&model1=475&model2=482&chart=165? Is XP/Vista that resource hungry, if so if you disabled all background process would the gap close?
