my grandparents have an aging dell with a c2d e6600 processor. it is the family computer and it is sluggish no matter what i try to do. upgraded the ram to 6gigs [originally had 2] installed win7 x64, i am going to format and reinstall win7 but i doubt thatll help much. i honstely want to throw this computer out of the window some times because its just so damn slow
i want to scrap everything except the optical drive, gpu and hard drive and make a new computer for them
what processor would have the most noticeable speed increase and will be good for another 5-6 years?
personally i have an i5-2500k in my gaming rig and i have been very pleased with its performance.
i have been thinking about an i5-2400 for them or an i5-3450. the gpu in the dell burnt out a few months ago and i replaced it with a radeon 6670 so integrated graphics dont matter that much
would i3 be better or should i just pay up and go i5
light to medium gaming will be done on this computer but for the most part itll be used for word, internet, flash games, itunes, a few rounds of killing floor and some starcraft 2
going to go with 8gigs of ram since ddr3 is dirt cheap right now
