Does leaving MSN running while you game have a performance impact?

No No Pentium 4 I'm certain runs at 2.8 lol the whole system is in dire need of replacing. Although switching from a 700X to a 1950X last October stopped the slowdown in most games though.

There's your problem .
A 2.8 ghz pentium 4 .

Then I can more or less understand the small slowdown .

lol I'm hoping to build something a bit more modern around Christmas time, I imagine jumping from a P4 to a Core i7 or a high end Core 2 would bring in some pretty big jumps for me.

It really would, or the new AMD processors coming out at that point
