Topic: Angel's size upgrade

I'm looking to increase the size of my processor speed, hoping to get some feedback.

I currently run:
Processor:     AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 2800+, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.6GHz
Memory:     1534MB RAM
Hard Drive: 164 GB
Video Card: Sapphire RADEON X1600 PRO

I'm looking at either:

This dualcore bundle

or

This quadcore bundle

I'm pretty cheap so I like to lean towards the dual core but i worry it won't be enough. Is anyone running top settings with dualcore?
Comments?

Thats plenty enough.  I have AMD 5600+, thats Dual Core and does more than enough for FS at top GFX.

I'll still be using the same card. You're certain It'll be ok?

I ran FS at max settings with a single 3800... I would think anything dual core could run it at top settings if the card is strong enough.

Re: Angel's size upgrade

AMD dual cores are nice, unless youre looking for performance. In that case i'd recommend an intel dual core (E8200, E8400,...)

Quads generally arent for cheap people, as their main purpose is improving the size of your e-cock.
Semi-old games wont benefit from having 2 extra cores, they will probably just ignore them.

The quad core bundle, but then with a simple dual core cpu, would be a smart choice imo.

Thanks for your thoughts Pam, but seems Gwynnies running AMD dual core at max settings without problems. I'm not actually interested in creating the ultimate online phallus, just being able to participate in community games without a watching a slideshow!

PS:- though your post got censored to say chicken- in this quote panel I can read what you actualy said tongue
