#13 how much did your QuadCore cost you, did you need to stop buying hair gel for awhile?

i have a Q9550 @ 2.83ghz, so i was just wondering if maybe quad cores were having problems with older games like cs

contrary to popular belief, you actually do need a processor that isn't a piece of crap to run 1.6 well.

#18 you're just saying that for people to know you have a 900 $ processor.

For the people with quad cores what kinda power supply do you have (and watts)?

QUOTE:
If you're buying a CPU primarily for gaming, the sweet spot of the market seems to be dual-core. There, you can get a higher clock rate than is available (at least economically) in quad-core. All UE3 games, for example, scale really well to two cores, and you get significantly more performance than single-core much of the time. Though UE3 and many other engines scale somewhat to 4 cores, the benefits aren't huge.

That will change in a couple of years, but that's another upgrade cycle.

If you plan to do heavy level-building and mod making, I'd recommend quad-core. The development tools scale well to quad-core, having lots of content authoring apps open in Windows benefits from quad-core, and if you're going to be running a dedicated server on your machine to test a mod while also playing on that machine, it helps for that.
