Best solution

For a 5870 a Phenom II 945 or even a Core 2 Quad 65nm/45nm will still be fine and not present a bottleneck. 3GHz is probably the best starting speed but wont present any noticable benefits unless you are in high res.

Now a 5870X2+ would need a OCed 945/C2Q.

Oh sweet. Cos i though i wud be screwed cos the 945 dosnt have an unlocked multiplier


You can still OC the 945 pretty well with the base clock, just not as well as a 955BE. I think most 945s can hit 3.6GHz easily.

Serious?! The review was harsh then XD
it sed that the 945 was a disappointment with its oc ability and gave it a hiding lol

Lol, you are right, that did sound stupid. What I meant is that you need to know a little more about what to tweak etc.


Then again, maaaaybe you could seduce your computer into running higher clocks.

Only one thing, you should edit the map to exclude AI or modify the AI and make Koreans friendly ;)  Also, make them throw flowers at you while you walk into the sunset.
