2.51 MB/s (20.1 mbps)Above are my system specs that I will be referring to in this post. First of all my whole issue is based on performance when playing games such as WoW. For those of you that are familiar with WoW; I can participate in 10 man raids on High/Ultra settings and get 40-60 FPS, however; when I participate in 25 man raids with my graphic settings on low I get 1-10 FPS. I believe this is a CPU issue being that my CPU(Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz) is very old and not very good in the first place.
So I need a few questions answered.
Q: First of all, could my CPU be the cause of the low fps in games?
Q: Is the CPU socket(LGA775) on my motherboard(Asus P5QL-EM) an old socket? Is it being outdated by other newer sockets?
Q: Is it worth it to buy a new CPU first that fits the socket on my current Motherboard, or should I just fork out the cash and buy a new Motherboard and a new CPU
Q: If I were to just buy a new CPU on the socket LGA775 would their be support for it in the future.
