pctechxp,

gaming isn't limited by CPU-power these days. Just FYI, and only if you didn't know it yet: Gaming is a problem of the graphics, so the graphics card is one bottleneck, the second being the cycles that you get from the CPU. Unfortunately, our current games cannot make use of more than 2 cores, and even those are used in a very unsymmetrical manner: 1 core running the operating system, and the other core runs the game. And that's no problem of operating system or CPU, but one of the game coders. If one wanted to use all cores, the games would need to be written in a different manner.

Paris, because she knows how to play
