The Results:

Results: WinRAR 3.70 showed dual-core love and the 2.2GHZ AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ was 335KB/Sec quicker than the 2.2GHz AMD Athlon 63 3200+. The Athlon 64 X2 6400+ showed off with it’s 3.2GHz clock frequency though and showed how the benchmark is to be done! At nearly 1MB/Sec FASTER than the Athlon XP 1800+ it just shows how far we have come over the past five years.
