I currently have the machine in my sig, and I'm planning on upgrading it.
I was searching around newegg and found these two processors:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9450 Yorkfield 2.66GHz ($329.99)
AMD Phenom 9950 BLACK EDITION 2.6GHz ($235.00)
I understand that if I go Intel, I'm gonna have to get a new mobo, but using the current one wouln't bottleneck an AM2+ cpu? I don't mind paying the extra money for the Intel one if it's really worh it. No idea what kind motherboards are great now, so I'm looking for help on that too.
What about the memory? I think maybe getting 4GB would be great, toughts?
As long as my card doesn't bottleneck the cpu, I don't plan on upgrading it, since I only play on my ps3 with an hd 40" screen nowadays when I have the time.
Thanks a bunch!
