Which Processor would be better for playing world of warcraft on?
the e7500 has a faster clock speed but the e8200 has the bigger cache and the faster FSB.

Intel Core2 Duo E7500 Wolfdale 2.93GHz 3MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor 1066FSB
Intel Core2 Duo E8200 Wolfdale 2.66GHz 6M Dual Core 1333MHz Socket LGA 775

Im going to say the e7500 cause it should Oc higher. The e8200 has a 8x multi and the e7500 has a 11x multi so it will be easier to oc the e7500. It will be tough to get the 82000 to 4.0 and easy to get 7500 to 4.0

I would also consider the e5200 it will OC to 4.0 also, and its half the price.

For WoW I seriously recommend a quad core.
