Hi people, just recently come into about £90 and was thinking of upgrading my cpu from this:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-268-AM&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=1946

to this:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-244-AM&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=1943

would it be worth and would i see a boost in performance?

Cheers guys

Gaming mainly but I'm starting uni in September and will be doing some coding and stuff then.

Well I was thinking of getting a new system at the end of 2012 so I was thinking this cpu would help tide me over until then. Was thinking of getting a new gfx in September when I get my student loan to go with it.

Hmm not that much better but I was planning get a 570 in sept and my current processor would bottleneck it.

Never really though about a hex core, would have wait though for the funds for a hex core. There isn't any difference in gaming between a hex and quad though is there?
