Q8200, the budget quad core.
It's alright, I personally see a lot more potential (Hence why I have one) in the Q6xxx series, they have a higher multiplier and lower stock FSB, so a lot more OC potential.
It's a good CPU, your graphics card is probably bottlenecking it (it was a 9400GT right?). I also see it's underclocked (default 2.33, clocked at 2.00), might want to raise that.
A quad core is a quad core tbh theres always good potential as the shared L3 cache works nicely even on the most budget version.
Very good cpu compared to my shitty dual core these days need moar money.
Phantom, it's called SpeedStep :p. The Multi is at 6x as opposed to 7x.
Goes back up to 7x when the CPU is loaded.
Oh yeah I remember something like that. Might want to overclock it a tad at least.Quote:

Cheap ones will get you killed. (In game.)
That was true back when Quads started out, but now a lot of games are multi-threaded, so even a cheap Quad will perform well.
