Rahul said:i will not suggest a dual core for gaming ..... better get a 144 or 146 opty .... there are no game which uses DC processor and even in future i think it will take 1-2 years for game to be DC aware ..... better spend the remaining money on graphics card and all .....
hunt3r said:Ur wrong there rahul, quake 4 and BF2 do make use of DC, tho considerable difference is seen only in quake 4. But if u have the money to spend, dual core makes complete sense. All future games, including some which are gonna release this year are gonna make use of DC. And it will be particularly good for using Vista as well. A few changes to Gf's rig i would suggest is goin with a better mobo. DFI Lanparty Nforce 4 ultra D and also 2 GB of ram(2X1GB UCCC sticks). And spending 65k on the components and 2k on the cabby does not make sense. Go for a better cabinet.
goldenfrag said:Rahul, Every1 new game coming out will be MultiThreaded.
Quake 4, BF, and FEAR, already benefit.
UT2007, will be the best Dual Core vs. Single Core test :bleh:
In UT2007, my Pentium D Will perform better than an Opty 146 even @ 3 Ghz .
