Thread: Best Processor Upgrade for Gaming Excluding Core I5/7 or AMD

Newegg.ca - CORSAIR XMS2 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-8500C5C G - Desktop Memory Got that ram listed above, seems to be working good. Found a stable overclock for my ram and e8400 processor I think. Going to wait a week or two if everything is fine try for higher, might try an intel burn test and memtest 86 run too if I want to get super srs, provided I...

seems to work for me, running 3GB in Triple Channel, no overclock needed for games, pair it with a good card which you already have and it should run fine. its a Quad core, supports Hyper Threading so the OS and some software will see it as virtually an 8 Core CPU, but doesn't have the same performance as 8 physical cores. I'm just running some Value budget crap RAM, its a good brand but low priced stuff. running Crysis and many...

I was about to post something when I went and had a look at the game forums.

Aion™ Online :: General Discussion - Post Your SYSTEM Specs and FPS Your FPS numbers are exactly inline with even guys running quads. The question that really hit me is you say you are hitting lower...

Those screen shots pretty much covered it and Aaron has the same answer, undo the Auto setting on your ram, it's running it at 850, and even though your timings are loose, it just may not like running over 800, thus crashes when you go higher. once it's set to manual, you should have some options to move it down in set ratios, like 5:6, or 1:1.20 or something, depending on the board, and it should then show what that change is. get...

Gonna try and keep this short, I like short. Vid memory plays a very strong role in being able to display higher resolutions. As far as I am aware, wow isn't even designed for multiple threads, which means the e8400 is going to run faster than just about any quad skt 775. Also, your friend is running 1024 res, and you 1920. There is no comparison there. My cell phone can run wow at 1024 (not really, but maybe). Resolutions like that are...
