+1

the i5 2500k is a HELL of a lot quicker than the old core 2 quads! even at stock (as you won't be able to overclock on that board well) it will nuke your old set up

ok thats what I thought is there a simple way to explain why they are so much faster even if they have the same clock speed ?

easy... its this:

Core 2 Quad: Space Shuttle
i5-2500K: USS ENTERPRISE NCC-1701-E

That easy, please forgive my star trek reference, I am a massive trekkie lol
