Magical_Trevor 0 Posted May 12, 2011 Just sayin, not all games utilize all cores. For general computing or using lots of applications, more cores = more speed. But games are now starting to utilize more cores. Its better for later. I guarantee that my Phenom X4 will be fine for atleast 3-4 years (well atleast till new consoles) Honestly don't just worry about core speed, buy a nice balanced system. My original system I would say was bad with the processor but, try to balance it. I know, Luigi. Games hardly support quad cores right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
