The answer is "an Athlon FX-53". With the old 1.8GHz CPU, sound normal; 29.5 average, 3.0 minimum. 22050Hz sound, 47.9 average, 11.6 minimum. With an FX-53, sound normal; 36.5 average, 4.5 minimum. 22050Hz sound, 52.4 average, 18.3 minimum (!).

I wish I could scare up one of the dual-core socket 939 Althons and try with -renderthread 1.

"-renderthread 1" has been enabled by default for a while now, and trying to purposely shut it off with "-renderthread 0" gives some people an error message when they log in...

What I'm trying to say is that's an outdated modifier. I can't see it making any difference one way or another these days.

Hm, I didn't know that - not having a dual-core, it's not been relevant. I'd still like to try on a dual-core CPU, but apparently if you want a socket 939 CPU these days you take what you can get. :-)
