I have been holding onto the same cpu/mobo for a couple years now, a dual core running at 3200mhz, and I have 8gm ram (see the sig). I play games at 1920x1080 with either no AA or 2x AA. Cod4, Cod WAW, a couple other minor games that are not graphic intensive (Q1, Q2, Q3).
Would it be ANY benefit at all to change cpu's to an overclocked quad core? I am not interested (yet) in getting an i7, of course I know that is somewhat faster.
Just that I don't see any benefit yet, since games are at most not really dual thread optimized, and I rarely see 100% cou loading while playing...
Chime in if you have gone from a dual core to a quad core, and if it really mattered in "real world" game play.
