| 755925 | 2009-03-12 21:31:00 | The only thing i noticed was. the game says a minimum of 2.6 Ghz but that computer has 2.5 whats that mean? | cody0103 (14700) | ||
| 755926 | 2009-03-12 22:58:00 | You don't need to worry about, that as the 2.6ghz is for a single core only, but the PC you're buying has 4 cores,(quad core), and in simple terms its much faster than a 2.5ghz single core. Especially if the game supports multiple cores. And remember, the single most important part in a PC for gaming is the GFX card. I also suggest you get the 4850 instead of the 9800GT. Better performance in most newer games Blam |

Better performance in most newer games Blam I don't agree. Very few games support multiple cores. For single threaded programs, a 2.5GHz Quad core will be slower than a 2.6 Dual core. More cores only helps when the application (eg encoding etc) is multithreaded, otherwise it counts for absolutely nothing. |

More cores only helps when the application (eg encoding etc) is multithreaded, otherwise it counts for absolutely nothing. Yes-but games are slowly starting to support multiple cores. And the specs was single core, not dual I personally have a gaming rig with the E8400 as the centre, as most games currently are not multi-threaded. But, games such as crysis and fallout 3 already support multi-threading, and soon all games will follow. Only a matter of time. Blam |

| 755930 | 2009-03-13 02:26:00 | I think the idea is that they will buy the PC, then play the game. I could be wrong though. | sammo450 (13626) | ||
