PotshotPolka Posted December 8, 2009 Content Count: 6084 Joined: 03/31/08 Status: Offline Share Posted December 8, 2009 a couple weeks you werent!!!! Because he really wanted a quad-core. If you looked I swapped it out for a 3.0ghz dual core and he went with it instead. As far as raw processing power goes, the quad-cores won, but for practicality in gaming a higher grade dual-core was advantageous.
