What is better for games? (Not number tests, Sandra etc.)
1- CPU 2.93, 1066 LINKED
2- CPU 2.88, 1142 LINKED
3- Other, comments welcome.

System:

2 Gb of OCZ
evga 680i mobo

other junk...

I do a good bit of multimedia processing (movies, pics, etc.) but wanted to know what is better for games?

Thanks to all.

As you can see, there isn't much diffirence at al between 533 MHz and 1066 MHz... But, when I turn up the CPU speed, I get about 5 FPS more. So, if I were you, I would go with the higher clock speed on the CPU, and not the RAM... 1066 is fast enough.

Dude,

Nice chart. I have no objective data, such as yours, to prove my point (to myself) that the higher clock speed is better for the game end user experience. I believe that it is as well, and appreciate your chart.

Thanks for your thoughts and have a good one!
