Looking at upgrading my son's PC.
Currently
ASUS P5E-VM HDMI LINK
E8400 3.0Ghz Core2
4GB RAM DDR2
Windows Vista Ultimate
Gefore 650 Ti 1GB
I am considering getting a used q6600 off of Ebay. They go for around $50. The point is that he has taken to BF3. It plays pretty decent, but it dips down into the 20FPS at times.
Has anyone here played BF3 on a Q6600? Is the CPU sufficient to get the framerate up a little better than his E8400?
This E8400 that I have wouldn't overclock well at all. If I remember, 400 mhz was all. Q6600's were pretty decent overclockers weren't they?
