I am an individual who loves to game so if possible while answering the following questions, remember this. I am trying to figure out which of the 2 processors i own would be best for gaming. Right now i run my AMD Phenom 9600 Quad Core at the Factory Clock of 2.3 GHZ. Previously i ran a AMD Athlon X2 6000+. I am having trouble telling what the difference in performance is aside from certain load times. Does one have a higher advantage to gaming then the other and i am just blind?

If your games are optimized for multi core proccessing then you will see an improvement but if the games you play only take advantage of 2 cores then you will see better performance in a dual core then a quad core sometimes. The only games i play that take advantage of it is Flight Simulator X and Grand Theft Auto.
