What's the processor upgrade??

[therealnerd2]

Hi all!

Recently bought a core 2 duo setup - E2200 and overclocked it to 3.3/3.4ghz.

Its not fast enough

So, what's the upgrade? I head 'Quad' core is neigh on useless for apps at the minute, so is the "wolfdale" the only upgrade? Is it actually faster?

Cheers,
Sam

TBH its FSX mainly - which i can only assume isn't very multi-threaded. Think wolfdale is the way to go?

Yep no probs, thanks for the help. Mem only clocks upto 980ish so faster clocking ram may also be on the cards.

As far as I can see FSX is massively CPU and MEM limited. When i clocked it up from 2.2 to 3.3 it made a staggering difference to the fps. Therefore i'm presuming my 8800gt isnt the bottleneck.
