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

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.

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.

Won't it be a little difficult to run that on a computer he/she doesn't have?
