thanks for the replys dude |
yes, depending on what you are doing. superpi...ummm, no. other things....um, yes. lol seriously...at 3ghz my 3600 will smoke thru whatever i toss into its path, no problem.
as far as playing crysis at medium settings....no, i am not sure, lots of speculation on tech forums. my speculation is this:
a software designer would have to be utterly retarded/a total business moron to design a game that would require 95% of all the gamers in the world to completely upgrade/rebuild their system to get DECENT, PLAYABLE framerates and performance. hence, i dont think that you will need a quad core and 4gb ddr3 and sli 8800gtx's to play crysis. you may need to upgrade your card to get decent framerates at higher settings/resolution. i would think that most, if not ALL current dual cores with at least 2gb of ram with a decent (ie 7900+ - 8 series) card will be able to play at LEAST medium settings. maybe no aa and whatnot.
oh, yeah...stock cooling...i dunno. my voltage is at 1.40 or 1.425 @ 3ghz, so there aint a whole lotta extra heat. i would suggest buying aftermarket if possible. if not, control the voltage and temps until you can.
