First off I know its still an older CPU. I will be upgrading fully once DX10 comes out...
Ok then
I have two questions regarding windows and performance once I install my new cpu I ordered from newegg.
My current specs are as follows:
Intel P4 2.0GHz OC @ 2.6 STABLE
Socket 478 mPGA
NorthWood
533MHz FSB
8Kb L1 Data
12Kuops L1 Trace
512Kb L2
i845PE Intel Chipset
MMX,SSE,SSE2
No Hyper Threading
[Note] This CPU does not support AGP 8X
Running with the following:
Asus P4P800 SE MotherBoard
2Gb DDR 400 1X1Gb/2X512Mb
Asus 6600 128Mb AGP 8X [SOON TO BE A 6800XT 256Mb]
SoundBlaster Audigy 4
80Gb WD Sata 2 7200Rpm
550 Watt PS
plus the appropriate fans all Zalman including CPU/GPU
5 80mm's
1 120mm
My New CPU:
Intel P4 3.0Ghz
Socket 478 mPGA
Presscot
800 FSB
12Kb L1 Data
16Kuops L1 Trace
1Mb L2
i865PE Chipset
MMX,SSE,SSE2,SSE3
Hyper Threading [YES]
Now in regards to performance I am certain I will see a noticible difference in speed/power but I am wondering how much you all think I will get..
Give me a % if you can..
I am currently playing games on this rig [BF2/2142] med/high settings @ agp 4x I know!
In regards to Windows I am wondering! [do I or Will I] need to format/reinstall. I think i should and it is not a problem but once again.
What do you think?
Thanks guys ALOT
