D diabloII Fully Optimized Messages 3,215 May 29, 2005 #8 you can just overclock to the point where you get 10fps not necessary to get a better CPU i'd rather have a 3200+ and those dfi lanparty ultra-d OCZ ram and a zalman 7700-cu fan to play with rather than a very expensive FX-55

Click to expand... it is BS, but it gets the point across that even the "lower end" AMD CPUs are better than most of Intel's stuff

With CS:Source and HL2, processor is almost all that matters. I ran HL2 and CS:S with a P.O.S. GeForce2 64MB. I would get the 3200 and OC it. Not worth to get a 3500.
