So I have a dual core 6400 Intel atm
Therefore I want to buy a quad core.
Some q's.
1. I have seen some quad cores listed as 64bit does this mean I can only use win7. I have win7 and xp isntalled on my pc.
eg..''Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz 64-bit CPU and fan''
2. Which Quad core should I buy...I just want to game prob games like BF3 at 1900x1080 prob at most.
I see 6600, 8400, 9505 etc..
3. Is 2nd hand ok. Will it last a few years. And no issues to overclock not that I plan major overclock.
4. I can install CPU myself easily?
ATM this is my system:
RAM:
2x1gb Ballistix tracer ram + 1gb = 3gb total.....May upgrade to 2x2gb ram=4gb
GFX:
5770 1gb gfx card.
PSU:
520w corsair power supply
What do you recommend I purchase?
cheers
