Would going from a conroe to wolfdale with higher clocks be a decent trade off of the 1MB cache loss for gaming?
My motherboard will do atleast 425/1700 bus speeds but the cpu is limited to 3.4 in the summer and 3.6 in the winter. I can swap it out for an e7400 at no cost. This would likely leave it up to the processor but that's 4.4ghz assuming the processor is worthy.
Going to see how far it will go regardless but curious if you folks would make the swap if the e7400 hits 4ghz?
