Of course not. Only computer technitions use that terminology. And are all of us here computer techs? No.
You'll be surprised. I've worked at Circuit City, and most people do know how fast their processor runs. People tend to buy their computers based on its speed, and not the fact that it's a Pentium. With that information, you can tell what model processor any person has.
Oh, and I'm a tech. You build computers and you're not a tech. Interesting. If you build computers then you ARE a tech, believe it or not. Don't be a stranger. Join the club
What the heck are you saying I don't know anything or very little about computer componets? I biult my own PC, and I help build friends PCs, as well as upgrade them with aftermarket parts! I know a lot about computer componets. if you don't believe mr ask a few members and they can tell you that I've helped some of them out with some of their threads regarding PC hardware.
And no, you will not be able to tell the difference between a 3.5 and a 3.6 GHz CPU. No human on the planet can calculate how much a .1 GHz increase will affect their overall performance then be able to actually tell the difference it makes. Because once you're way high up in the processing speed it makes very little difference. If it was a lower CPU, say 600 MHz and you were goign to 700 MHz you might be able to tell the difference. But when you have a very fast CPU as is, you won't be able to tell the difference.
When overclocking an AMD, you do notice the difference. With a Pentium, you probably won't This is mainly due to the fact that AMDs do more per clock.
What's with the Farcry thing? Did I say the game won't be able to go higher then 66 FPS, NO!!! I said the HUMAN EYE can not see anythign greater then 66 FPS. Holy freakin' crap you need to read better!
Anywho back onto the actual topic of this now-dead thread...
Go with the Pentium D 930 CPU, it's a more cost worthy CPu to buy. It performs quite well and is cheaper.
People need better video cards to play the newer games out that require more from the video card. It has nothing to do with seeing past 66 fps. Why can't you understand that? You sound like a person who doesn't play games that much.
