quickly aproaching low end by todays standards but more than good enough.

its not like the gap from low > mid > high is all that big these days seeing as most cpus are over kill

I have read many people type this but what does it actually mean :confused:

is this purely related to an average joe gamer who only really needs to consider gpu upgrade to stay with the game spec curve?

To a normal pc user it is high range.

To us it is mid-range.

Mid range.
I am pretty sure you can max out any game you throw at it apart from crysis.

Thanks once again guys.

Yeh, lol, mid range in the overclocking fraternity, and mid range on the high street are two very different ball-parks

more then capable of anything you will chuck at it like others have said. All the quads etc hardly get used for what they really can do, the market is quick becoming overkill with most systems being updated for the hell of it to have new hear that doesnt actually get max'd unlike the old days of single core machines.
