Hi, I currently have a Socket AM2 Athlon 64 x2 4800, overclocked to 3GHz.

Seeing as gaming only uses one core anyway - would I see a performance increase (in games) if I had to upgrade to a socket AM2 Phenom 9500?

I plan to replace my 7950GX2 with the 9800GX2 when it comes out as well so in a way the question is moot - although I would appreciate some comments anyway. - IE other non-gaming performance boosts.

Thanks
 
thanks guys , thats pretty much the response i was expecting, to be honest the 7950gx2 isnt as great as I had hoped, the newer games like cod4 arent as smooth as they probably should be, you are right about wasting money though, I just seen the price of some of the better 8800's and the 9800 will be more expensive again :o
