Hi there, sorry about the perfs-related question.
I've got this setup as of now :
Bfg GS-550W psu
Asus P5KPL-CM
2x2Gb Rendition 667 (@800)
9600GSO (@770gpu/1000mem/1900s)
E1200 @2ghz
Planning to get rid of that cpu, upgrading to either E5200 or E7400 (7400 being about the max for my budget). Problem is, with that motherboard you can't set the memory freqs to stay where they are as you overclock, so I can do a 20% OC maximum, whatever chip I use, except if I'd upgrade to 1066ram or a different board.
Anyway, I could get 3ghz out of the E5200, and around 3.36ghz out of the E7400. Is the difference worth it, considering I'll be playing KH/KH2 and maybe FFXII in low res ?
Right now KH2 is kinda playable (60fps in the woods, 35fps in the city) but I really need another processor anyway
