Am goin to upgrade my system to a gaming PC...should i go for Intel i5 or core 2 duo 3.0??
heard that i5 hav less clock speed ie..abt 2.6GHz whereas core 2 duo E8400 hav 3.0GHz
i5 hav less cache memory too..so am worried that all these factors affect my gaming n other purposes
My graphic card is ATI HD 5850 1gb, 4gb ddr3 dual channel..
Is it possible to use same mobo for i5 and i7?? so that i can go for i7..
Is there an i5 processor with 3.0Ghz without overclocking?? what is itz name?? Is it good for gaming???
Can v use the same mobo for i7 n i5???
suggest a mobo too..i need all clock speed to b almost same...for memory,processor n mobo
thank u
