I have about 200-300$ it spend on a upgrade since i just got my 1920 x 1200 monitor i think i could use some more horsepower:
core 2 duo e6300@ 2.33ghz
asus p5n32 e sli 680i
pcpower an cooling 750watt silencer
2 x gb corsair 800mhz dominator
antec 900
evga 8800gts 640mb.
questions:
-if i upgraded to a pci express 2.0 card (yes backward compatible i know since my 680i is pci express 1.0) how much performace would i lose if i did upgrade graphics to a pcie 2.0?
-are games taking advandage of multi cored cpus with multi threading or something of the sort?
- what are the adavantages of ddr3? just more room for high overclocks??
