It's still old tech, and not bound to be a huge improvement, but for $37 this will do you: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002973RW0/

By the way, that's the last one in stock.

Please help me with a little information, as *what do multiple cores mean* and if that processor will fit with no problem, just take out the old one and put that in, and how much of an improvement gaming wise would i get going from the dual core 2.0 to a quad core 2.3?

timeconsumer · May 15, 2015

Just google for the first two questions. Here's a start:

As far as gaming improvement. That depends on a lot of factors. What is your GPU? What resolution is your monitor? What games do you play?

Graphics Card - AMD Radeon HD 7700
SeriesResolution - 1280x768

I'm looking to play Killing Floor 2

A 7700 is not a card, it's the family of cards. There's a big difference between a 7770 and a 7730.

I also doubt your monitors max resolution is 1280x768, check this:

Screen sresolution max is 1600x1200 i just run it at 1280x768

And thank you for your time, i appreciate this.

timeconsumer · May 15, 2015

Please reference the first link in the previous post to give me the model number of your GPU. Preferably using the device manager.

Does AMD Radeon R7 200 series help?

Earth Wind · May 15, 2015

If not i am confused, thats what i'm getting from control panel

timeconsumer · May 15, 2015

I'm going to guess you're using a 7750 or something in that area, since it was rebranded later into the 200 series. In that case you'll be similar to this guy in that game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhTCKit2QN0
He's playing a 1600x900 with an i3. The i3 will be better than the Core 2 Quad I linked you, but you work with what you have. In the end I think you should get playable performance with your current setup, and for $37 that processor is a pretty nice upgrade, even though it's old.

If you really wanted to improve your experience you can always add in a GTX 750 Ti to your build and up your memory to 8gb.

Earth Wind · May 15, 2015

I looked up i3 and this came up, is this the right one? plug and play etc?

http://www.amazon.com/Intel-i3-2120-Dual-Core-Processor-Cache/dp/B004KZDV8E

timeconsumer · May 15, 2015

No, you can not use an i3 in a socket 775 motherboard. The chip I linked above is basically your best option.

Earth Wind · May 15, 2015

Thanks for all the help! but i have one last question please, bare with me. I heard i could have performance issues if things are not up to date, is there a way i can run a full system check? such as bios updates, vid cards etc, without all the paying and spyware and things?
