E4400 upgrade?

I still want to try this in the future, but I was really afraid of damaging it. I think I might put together a cheap computer in the future to practice on. I still have some really old parts lying around that I could test it on.

E4400 upgrade?

Just to give an update, I took advantage of Microcenter's recent i7 920 sale and went the i7 route. It was definitely an expensive upgrade, but I feel good about my purchases. It just didn't make sense to buy into an aging technology, or a currently inferior product that is only slightly less...

E4400 upgrade?

I appreciate all of that, especially the link to the sims 3 test - I had been wondering about that for awhile. That explains the stuttering that occurs when I zoom in and out. I have not bought any ram yet - I meant to say that if I were going to get another 775 then I would just stay with...

E4400 upgrade?

I was reading the review of the Phenom II X4 955 today, and they said it compared very well to the Q9550. This would be an easier decision if the i7 wasn't putting up such crazy benchmarks. I pretty know nothing about overclocking...can you guys point me in the right direction on how to do...

E4400 upgrade?

Thanks for the info guys. Vista 64-bit came in the mail yesterday, so I'm kind of anxious to get some new hardware to go with it. What do you guys think about the new i7 line of processors? The 920 + mobo + ram would be incredibly expensive, but would it be worth it to upgrade now, or should...

E4400 upgrade?

Hello, I am in the middle of upgrading my gaming rig and was wondering if I would get a significant boost in fps by going from a E4400 to either a E8400, E8600 or a Q9550. I'd like to keep my current P35-DS3R mobo, so I'm going to need to stay with the 775 socket (especially since i7 is so...
