Hi guys,
I'm gonna need a new processor for a gigabyte mobo GA-P35-DS3 with 4GB DDR2 Mushkin 1066 Redline and a GeForce 7950GT 512MB.
With the new Quads Q9xxx being released, I'm not sure whether to buy the hard to get Q9450 or instead go for the ubiquitous Q6600.
I intend to make the most of my 7950GT in WinXP with current and old games for a year or so before upgrading to a DX10 graphics card, as long as I can play @1027x768 @ 60fps with full details on .
What CPU would you recommend? Will the 12MB cache in the Q9450 make a big difference over the 8MB in the Q6600?
