| 827219 | 2009-11-05 05:26:00 | I get the feeling he doesnt want to replace his mobo and CPU as it sounds like hes a student(not rich!!!) As for the processor, would it not be better getting a Athon X2 250?($120ish) or a Phenom Propus quad($160ish) |

| 827220 | 2009-11-05 05:56:00 | My 3500+ AMD runs on a socket 939 with DDR, it is a pre-AM2 MOBO! It may not be as simple as your helpers suggest. It is not a gamers device but is a good work horse to pull carts with. | PENTIUM (426) | ||

| 827223 | 2009-11-07 23:03:00 | Even an overclocked E5200 would do fine.. Yes, A Socket 775 on my shiny AM2 Mobo lulz. Asus M2N is also AM2 exclusive (not AM2+ even with bios update) That means no Intel, No AM2+ (7750's) No X2 250's .etc. 5600+ 65W Edition for CaptainVin. Still makes no sense though 1 FPS no matter what in alot of games at 640x480 =S. |

| 827224 | 2009-11-07 23:08:00 | I have to agree besides which the OP doesnt state what resolution he is using either...single core 3500 @ 2.2Ghz is like 2004, I doubt the 5600+ will really change the outlook very much.... It'll only be a bajillion times faster. Even my old X2 3800+ laughed at GRID and Call of Juarez. 3500+ Single Core to 5600+ Dual Core is gonna be a big step in terms of general game performance and benchmark statistics. |
