STOP!!!!!!!!!! I know these 2 CPUs are "terribad" for gaming but right now I have no choice.
I tried playing WoW on my Pentium Dual CPU e2200 w/ my ATI Radeon 3450, the intro for stormwind was running smoothly however every 3 or 4 seconds it looked like it was "hiccuping??" freezing for about 1 millisecond, I'm sure you know what i'm talking about
However on my old computer, the one with the ATI Radeon x300 128MB (LOL) and the P4 2.8ghz didnt run the game smoothly but I didnt really notice any hiccuping with it. Its kind of frustrating because I still live at home (I'm 16) so I don't have any money and I had to rely on my parents to buy me a computer for christmas, and because of school, I'm not going to be getting a job until the Summer (Forget newegg theyre not huge believers in online shopping, my mom is coming around though)
Anyways my new tower with the Dual CPU is a dell inspiron 518 (And it does NOT allow me to OC my CPU, this is going to be my last Dell) and my old one which is now the family computer is a Dell Dimension 4800 (Sigh)
Just a note: I dont play WoW, I was trying a private server, the majority of games I play are FPS and strategy/RTS, it works great with CS:S btw.
My current PC build is:
3 Gb RAM
ATI Radeon 3450 256MB DDR2
Intel Pentium Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.2ghz
Windows vista 32 bit home premium
I really don't see why my 3450 would be bottle necking, I thought the dual cpu would be a BIT faster than the P4...
This destroys my plans of upgrading to an ATI Radeon 4870...Unless of course it wont overclock, will it? (Not a x2, just a 4870, or a 9500/9800GT)
