I wouldn't exactly call it a "low" processor to be honest.

Me either.

you know what i mean

most reviewers used a quad core at 3.00ghz to avoid the bottleneck, i should have said "a low processor in comparison" :'(

2cores @ 3.00GHz VS 4 cores @ 2.40GHz

Now factor in 2 cores produce less heat meaning you can Oc higher
& the fact that most games dont us 4 cores.

Do the math

The E8400 is a newer cpu and clock for clock I believe it is quicker in some applications as it few more instructions.
