Default AMD dual core processor drivers

I was having an interesting issue with negative ping times. Evidently the 2 cores on the amd chips could drift and cause all sorts of issues. Windows doesn't automatically install or patch this driver. Bastards.

Yep, I remember having to do this with my AMD rig. Do you notice any difference?

There's a lot of issues with dual cores and the game engine I bought because of crap like this. Evidently there's some "right ways" and some "wrong ways" of accessing system timers on multi core systems... Oh happy day.
