CPU upgrade ?

Your system is fine - why do you want to upgrade? Only real upgrade would be I7 - new board, new ram, new cpu - less gain than you probably think...

Overclocking and You.. Why?

28 months ago an E6600 was still pretty expensive. So I got myself an E4300 and a Tuniq Tower 120 for about 130 ?, clocked the E4300 to 3,1 GHz with stock voltages and enjoyed an inexpensive, stable and fast system since then. No problems, no crashes, works like a charm for 28 months now and...

What's Up with Wolfdale?

Intel will re-release the E5xxx and 7xxx Series WITH enabled VT. And of course cause more confusion.... ^^

which cpu better for gaming AMD Phenom II X2 550, Intel E6300 or continoue with old Pentium D935?

Not guaranteed - but the 45nm process in the new E6300 is pretty solid and almost a guarantee for a good OC.

Think about overclocking... That would put the new E6300 on top in my opinion.

Not a bad choice - BUT!!! I have to disagree with all of the above posters! You are all refering to the OLD C2D E6300 - but there is a NEW E6300 out, sporting 2.8GHz and 2 MB Cache - which I would prefer compared to the Phenom II X2. And I am pretty sure that the original threadstarter had...

Need advice Ati 4870

The 4850 propably won´t be much faster than your old 8800 GT... That isn´t a real upgrade.

Pentium 4 2GHz and Dual Core 1.4GHz

As a sort of comparison, I upgraded my girlfriends pc, which she uses mainly for surfing and working, from a P4 3GHz to an E2180 with 2 x 2 GHz. The new rig is a lot faster in anything she does.

Athlon XP 2500+ to Phenom II X3 2.8ghz ... @ 3.5ghz

I upgraded at least every 3 years since I was ten years old, and it was always a substantial gain... ;-)

Athlon XP 2500+ to Phenom II X3 2.8ghz ... @ 3.5ghz

I upgrade from a pretty similar system 2 years ago. Had an Athlon XP 2500+ @ 2800+, 1 GB RAM DualChannel, NForce 2 Mobo (Asus), Radeon 9500 Pro flashed to 9700. I upgrade to C2D E4300@3,1GHz, 2 GB DDR2-800, Geforce 8800 GTS 640, Nforce 650i SLI Mobo. It was a really great difference, so...

cpu comparison chart

Not really - I had 2GB in my rig before and didn´t see any significant increase in FPS after going to 4GB. I don´t think, you have a point here.

cpu comparison chart

I also have an E4300@3.1GHz, 4 GB DDR2-800 4-4-4-12, 8800 GTS 512@stock. I built a PC for a friend last November, consisting of an E8400@stock, 2 GB DDR2-800 4-4-4-12, 4850 512@stock. To my surprise, my rig was a little bit faster than the E8400 & 4850 in 3DMark 06, Crysis and COD4...

E4400 upgrade?

Nice rig, but I am a little bit disappointed that you didn´t even try to OC the E4400. You / your brother should, it really helps a lot...

Worst Graphics Card Purchases

Worst: S3 864 VLB with 1MB RAM - that card was an absolute nightmare with SVGA & VESA Drivers under DOS. Best: Hercules Radeon 9500 Pro 128MB, flashed to 9700. Lasted me for 3 years and worked without any problems.
