Rig is listed as follows:
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R
E6420 @ 2.13 Ghz
4 GB Patriot DDR2 800
Radeon 4870 1 GB
Acer 22"

I think I bottleneck in a lot of games right now when I try and max settings (Demigod, Supreme Commander, etc) due to the CPU. Either I'm going to OC the E6420 or buy a quad-core, depending on how newer games are utilizing the CPU's. I definitely plan on getting Bioshock 2 next month and the base requirements start with my CPU...what should I do?
 
most comments i see on newegg say that processor is really easy to OC to 3.1ghz so i would try that out and if it doesnt help get a quad core i suppose.
 
Upgrade. A dual core, 2.13ghz isn't going to cut it. Even if you do OC it's still going to require an upgrade sooner then later.

Demigod ran great maxed on my computer at 2.66 before I oc'd.
 
if you live near a microcenter get yourself a q9550. make sure that your mb has whatever bios update it needs to support 45nm quads.
