So currently I'm running a dell 545 with a stock mother board with a core 2 quad q9650, a evga 750ti, the downside is I just found out the MOBO can only support 8gb of memory in DDR2. Now Ive read the q9650 is a decent processor, comparable to the early i3s, if not better. #1: is this true?
#2: would it be worth it to keep this processor and invest in the Asus - P5QL/EPU ATX LGA775 Motherboard which I found on ebay for 50, which supports 16gb. DO I even need to do this to run newer AAA games or will 8gb RAM and a newer GPU be all I need?
