Hey everyone, I have a e2180 overclocked to 3.2ghz paired with a 4830, 4gb ram, and a wd 1tb black edition. I was wondering if the 1mb cache on the e2180 is bottlenecking games like team fortress 2 and left 4 dead. There's an e8200 on sale for $100 from microcenter and I was wondering if it's worth picking it up.
 
TF2 can be fairly CPU dependant, but I doubt you'd see a huge bump in performance. Depending on your resolution you might be better served replacing your GPU -- it's on the weak side, though it ought to be enough for Source at 1680x1050 and lower.
