Hi all, I want to ask about core i3 HT technology, that it has 2 cores but i read some where that windows will recognize it as a quad-core cpu, i wanna ask you in terms of gaming, will games be running on 2 cores or 4 cores? or if it even does not perform as a true quad core, would it work as at least a tri-core cpu, and if it will be enough for modern games in medium-high graphics, i am not a hardcore gamer i just want to play games at whatever settings but with good fps i am fine with medium to high graphics (Resolution: 1366*768, because its the highest my monitor can handle) so i don't have a budget for quad core i5, I currently have an Intel Pentium G620 2.6GHz and GeForce GTX 550 Ti but when i play games my cpu usage goes to exact 100% and GPU usage just around 40-50% and even those games which needs lower end graphics card runs with lags so i am assuming that my CPU is holding my GPU back, so i don't know what should i do should i upgrade my CPU to get the full benefit of my Graphics card, would upgrading from G620 to core i3 will be worth a upgrade or will i be just wasting my money, and with i3 will my GPU perform as it should ? and the usage of CPU and GPU will be balanced.
PS: When i run the benchmark with 3dmark05 it does 3 GPU tests in which fps was going like 100-200 and when it ran 2 CPU tests fps hardly reached 20 fps it was like 10-15 fps at most.
Thanks in advance for any help i really appreciate any help, i have been searching for like weeks but i didn't find a good answer. I hope that you guys would help me.

that i already knew. I mean you can't stick with the same system for years these days because the technology is growing very fast i just wanted to do some gaming as i am not a regular gamer i just want to play games when i have free time so upgrading to a quad core i5 or any high end GPU like 560 or 570 or even 580 will be useless for me i just wanted to know that by upgrading my processor i won't be wasting my money i mean if its not worth a upgrade form G620 so why waste money and moreover i don't do much gaming but at least i want to take full advantage of my current GPU its like i buy that GPU for nothing if its efficiency is not fully usable with that processor.
