Hi Guys,

Just about to upgrade my p4 2.4c and 9800pro to something with a bit more power. I'm thinking of getting a 165 Opty but are there any dual core issues I should be aware of?

It's going to be used for playing CS:S, DOD:S, Red Orchestra Ostfront and Insurgency. I've read about some stuttering issues and to fix you have to get the multi cpu patch or set affinity etc. Are there any others I should be aware of?

My other CPU choice is a 3700 SD, which'll save me 90 odd quid, but I can't help feeling the DC are a better buy, just on performance and future proofing factors.
 
Thanks BigDom. I see you have an 1800xt. Do you have any framerate/crash issues in CS:S at all? I have major problems every time I alt tab out of CS and back. Crashes every time. I have latest drivers etc too. Thanks.
 
Hey, Agent WD40 I havn't bothered uninstalling, reinstalling as I rarely have to alt tab out when playing. Just wondered if it's ok on the newer video cards.
