I run some automotive programs on AM2 setup at the shop, I have one for predicting how a given cylinder head design will work, It takes roughly 12 minutes on a 2.5Ghz AM2, 8 mintues on a 3.2Ghz Q6600, if all things were equal I would estimate the performance at a 10% increase in a real world app using only the CPU.. (Single threaded app BTW.)
