y didnt u go for a e6600 cpu?
Long story short, didn't do the proper research before ordering.... Back in the day AMD was the best for gaming and I just assumed that it was still the case. Live and learn...
Oh well, gives me reason to look at upgrading in the future..
I've only been able to use a Compaq N800c laptop P4 2.0ghz, 512mb ram, ATI 7500 mobility series video card to game with. Playing any game at medium settings will be a treat...
