Re: you have a good point, why would Intel need to run modified for Conroe driver on AMD system

ATI recently introduced dual-core support for their video card drivers. It might need to check the CPU ID to determine whether to optimize for dual-core mode and would need to be updated for Conroe support. Or it could have been a compatibility issue with the motherboard/chipset/BIOS.

the other thing is that bios is not updated for AMD as per screen message "AMD processor model unknown"

Because the FX-60 was overclocked to 2.8GHz to better match what Athlon 64 X2 will perform like at the Conroe launch.

I could not find any fx-60 benchmarks that would be consistent with intel's, can anyone confirm that?

I think the other clue is the choice of a dual graphics card system. Sure, you want to make the cpu the bottleneck, but this also is going to place a higher premium on *bandwidth*. I suspect that AM2/Rev F, with DDR2-800, is going to boost the AMD crossfire scores by a decent amount, just from the DDR2-800 aspect.
