Hey guys. With all the processor price cuts I'm wondering if I should upgrade.
Right now my system looks like this
Intel c2d E6300
EVGA 680i Mobo
Nvidia 7950gt 512mb
2gbs 4-4-4-12 ddr2 pc6400 ram corsair
2 Seagate 250gb in raid0
with optical drives... and the such.
My monitor is 1680by1050.
Right now Q6600s are around $250.
Will getting a q6600 increase performance enough to justify the cost?
I know I can overclock the e6300 but I have plans for it later so I don't mind upgrading and letting the 6300 sit out of a box for a while.
One more thing. Does anyone have experience switching from a dual core to a quad. Will I need to do anything special or will it just be like switching video cards?
