Think I'll definitely get a new HDD for Windows 7, and I'll put in a TV tuner + SATA DVD burner to replace my PATA one.. but I've got a bottleneck on the CPU.
I don't really want to unearth everything and make an expensive move to an X-58 chipset mobo with an i7 processor, I was thinking more like throwing on a cheap LGA775 quad core CPU, but I'm having difficulty choosing. The last 775 socket quads are apparently poor overclockers, so I'd be unlikely to even best my current overclocked E6600 on dual-core applications..
Am I better off just waiting for a price drop with i7s? Should I look at the quad Xeons?
The PC is virtually exclusively used for gaming. More and more PC games seem to be specifying a recommended requirement for more than two cores. So yeah.
Oh and keyboard suggestions please! Something wireless. Current one is a bit icky after 5 years use.
I Upgraded to a Q9400, and its by no means a poor overclocker. Stock it's a 2.66 and it clocks to 3.4 on stock cooling, by no means a bad feat.
Seeing that you are a spammer of note, and that you wont understand or comprehend what you have copied and pasted in here, I can also say that your Pentium II 266MMX with 64MB SD-RAM will surely not run Crysis on Enthusiast settings. You also dont get quad PII's aswell.
Another 'GIVE ME TECH ADVICE PLZ' thread. Need upgrade.
