hence why I don't see why so many people here are upgrading AMD64s as most of them are gamers and games are probably the least CPU dependant sort of load you can put on a PC...a northwood or a barton would still be able to max out most games with the appropriate video card
still interested in seeing how these overclock and I would be much more concerned about finding a decent board at this point as there really isn't any question anymore that the C2s are the most functional cores for their pricetags
and once again, there is no such thing as a freaking GPU bottleneck. I don't know how to make it clear, the CPU is only responsible for compiling information such as how certain enemies attack or how the environment reacts which literally has nothing to do with framerate, the GPU is responsible for collecting all the information the CPU sends it and drawing the appropriate picture as quickly as possible
