ive cut down to these two. as im only using it while i finish building my computer. this is for a different one. i already know what motherboard to get. i just need some help with the processor. the motherboard supports both of these. im a little short of cash. i know i should go with the core 2 duo. im just making sure i get the right one. i want it to play supreme commander FA or gears of war. the p4 2.8 processor has to go.
great and yes i am getting the socket 775. well that pretty much sets everything up for next week. im placing the order. i already have a case and well since im still getting all the parts together for the new one. might as well get one up and running. thanks umm do you know alot about over clocking? im curious on how much i might be able to over clock that core 2 duo processor?
Hmm, maybe to 2.6, 2.8? It involves raising the voltage and fsb, which can be quite confusing for people who are newer to over clocking. It doesnt just happen instantly. You need to find your "max" of which you can over clock your cpu, then bring the fsb down a bit and make sure your temps are stable.
Still, I dont think you will need to over clock that 2.2Ghz C2D.
