ok so how much would it effect it and what about the Q6600 and when are the games than use 2+ cores coming out and how much can i get a Q6600 for in us
The Q6600's your best bet if you havent got much to spend, it's cheaper than a Phenom, and will overclock better than the newer CPUs anyway, and is nearly as fast. I think they're a small amount over 200 US dollars.
cause if the 8800 gts or 9800 gtx or 8800 gt, 9600 gt price drop id rather get one of those over a 3850...
