Hi I have a Asus P5E3 Wifi @n Premium motherboard, A Intel E8400 processor O/C'ed to 3.6GHZ with CORSAIR XMS3 DHX 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 SDRAM rated at DDR3 1600. I'm looking to upgrade my CPU, specifically a Quad Core, good for gaming, I will also upgrade my GPU, but I'll decide what to get for graphics. I'm trying to get a better CPU and since Intel stopped production of these 775 socket CPU's supply is really low. So what should I get? Maybe a Xeon processor? What do you think?
Yes I have checked. But I want user opinions, real world user scenarios, that kind of stuff. Which is better http://ark.intel.com/products/35428...essor-Q9650-(12M-Cache-3_00-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB) or one of these http://ark.intel.com/search/advance... Xeon® Processor 3000 Sequence&Sockets=lga775
should have checked to see what your board was capable for cpu 1st before posting. http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/list.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=1&s=22&m=P5E3 Premium/WiFi-AP@n&os=&hashedid=y0FpG1REOUaqwk2E Core 2 Quad Q9650(rev.E0,3.00GHz,1333FSB,L2:12MB)
