Heya all...just got a bit of cash in bank and i wouldnt mind upgrading my PC for when Farcry2 arrives.

Current Spec.

Core2 duo. e6600 default speeds.
x1900 512meg.
2gig giel ram. forgotten speeds
and asus p5b delux mobo...

Iv got about £250bar to blow...I was thiking either new ram and gfx...or new gfx and cpu....cause iv heard quad core cpu's boost performance allot in Farcry2.

I am about to upgrade my gpu and cpu for farcry2, where did you hear farcry2 favours quad core ? got a link ?

if it will make a big difference this info could swing my decision.

Heya m8t...i cant remember exaclty..i think it was some were on www.n4g.com

What i read was that quad core gives a 40% boost in performance...tho i dont know if thats a boost from a single core processor..or a dual core one. But i presume it would be over a dual core as who has single core processors now when playing games
