Re: cpu upgrade

I would agree with others and go for the new board at the moment DDR 3 has come down really dirt cheap and DDR 2 has gone up in price.

I would have though Intel would have been better for a CPU upgrade if you are into music production there CPU's tend to be better than AMD but at a price of course

B-ops was the reason I got a CPU upgrade I was running a geforce 260 with a 2.6 dualcore black edition over clocked to 3.2 and B-ops still ran laggy even on low settings.

I changed to a quadcore and it ran smooth as anything although I think I need a new graphics card as this geforce 260 doesn't like running battlefield 3 on ultra settings have to put things down to high and med setting
