Hello everyone!
I've come to realize that my CPU needs an upgrade. My current specs are:
Intel celeron 3.33 ghz single core (this is ****, i know)
Intel D975XBX motherboard
8800GTS 640mb
2 gigs of RAM
(I'm not entirely sure about my power supply, i think it's some Corsair 550W)
I use my computer primarily for gaming, mostly games about as demanding as, say, oblivion. However i also play Crysis once in a while, (though with some lag)
So, I'm going to get myself a new CPU. I've checked the ones compatible with my motherboard on Intels website, and set my eyes on the Intel Core 2 Duo - E4700 2.6 ghz.
So my question is: what should i expect if i were to buy this CPU in terms of performance? Will it enhance slightly, greatly, etc?
Are there any other CPUs that would do the job better, and still be compatible with the rest of my system?
Thanks in advance!
