I need some help guys.
I currently have a Pentium D 930 that has been running very stable for months
@ 3.6Ghz 240FSB, 4mb Cache
This chip is the presler 65nm and sits idle @ 41c and 56c under stress sat under an Akasa AK-961 cooler.
I have benchmarked the cpu on pcmark 05 and got scores of 6000 which is not far off the E6400 at stock.
The dilema I am in, is that would it be really worth it buying an E6400?
Am I better to upgrade the RAM or even the Graphics Card?
I have a £200 birthday budget.
I use my pc for some video encoding, gaming and general internet usage. I also like to dabble with some overclocking too.
Other specs are:
P5N-E SLI
2Gb Samsung 533@640
Nvidia 7900GS
Any comments will be appreciated
