OK, a while ago (about 5 months), i began to plan out a high performance gaming machine. I started out with some recommendations about dual core. Now im not quite so sure.
From what im hearing dual core is not the way to go when it comes to gaming. Is this true? To what extent? I figure that at a certain point a dual core might be even better. Now i realize that some of the lower end dual cores cant compete just because some of the single cores having those insane 3Ghz processors. But what about dual cores like the Athlon X2 4400 Toldeo and up? Then if its OC, it seems to me that it would beat out most high end single cores. Not only does it have high processing speeds but it also takes advantage of the dual core features. Am i fooling myself into this rationalization, or is there another component im not looking at?
