Hey people, need to know, what is the fastest single core CPU. My mobo for my athlon 3700 died and got an I7. The problem I have now is that I was able to make any old program and game compatible with my 3700 using various programs like "microsoft program compatibility toolkit". We're talking about making games like every need for speed from the first one up work, any carmageddon, mech warriors, duke nukem, etc. But the problem now is that the I7 uses 4 cores and 4 logical cores.
No matter what I try, I can no longer make these old games function, no matter what compatibility program I use. Including reducing the number of cores used in bios "I can only reduce it to one core and one logical core, still creating that problem. And using one core is very ineffective, even for some older games. So now, i'm thinking about building a single core CPU.
From what I know, the AMD 3800 was the last single core CPU built along with the fx-57. Can anyone recommend a better sungle core CPU or are these two pretty much it?
Thanks in advance.
