Here's a good question... is it worth going quad-core yet?

I'm planning on building a gaming PC at the end of this year/early next year, and currently high-end Intel dual cores a are roughly the same price as low-end Intel quad cores. So whatdya reckon?

XD Crap Cleaner! I love that name! XD Just imagine what the slogan would be.

Kiah says:

Ah, crap cleaner. Isn't that the one that removes all the bundled software and crap you often get with a new computer which you don't need?

If I chose its slogan, it would so be...
"Crap Cleaner! We clean crap!"

Avg,Ad-Aware and Spybot are great only if you update and run them aleast once a week. Another good one is spyware doctor for the goolg pack as free version works great and also avg anti spyware

Go here for free version of spyware doctor

pack.google.com and untick the stuff you do not want and just leave spyware doctor ticked

id go for a higher end core 2 duo cause unless you really want to run 2 monitors and 2 games of half life 2 at the same time its not going to give you a big performance jump.

games and programs are only now just starting to support dual core architectures and it will be a while before you see a single program splitting it self across the 4 cores.

I am updating to a quad core around xmas as used one at work for the last 2 days and it is so much faster than the dual cores i have built and used

iddqd said:
Hmmmmm... that's a good point... if I was buying the computer tomorrow, I'd go dual core... but I'll wait and see what happens. It's just that games like Crysis will be taking full advantage of quads, and the performance leap over a dual is massive apparently.

H4mmersmith, that's true as well.

Ok, the scan on my computer was taking forever. Seriously, just over FOUR HOURS later and it was still scanning!! Normally it slows down when scanning for Spyware (around 40% done), but it was at 47% scanning for Spyware for hours! I just stopped it. I'll finish tomorrow after TAFE sometime. I hope nothing is wrong, but I'm worried. And on top of all that, I'm getting a headache. Damn computer.

Vinzor says:

! damn that computer for giving you a headache!
take a nap

you should set the computer to do the scan over-night while you're sleeping

longarms said:yeh the leap a sizable one but I don’t think it out weighs the extra cost witch you could put to ward you graphics card or RAM or maybe a water cooling system in the end its about performance vs. price so I guess we will have to see weather the quad cores can hit a better balance with that than they currently do.

*Edit* i was just reading this rather interesting article talking about the relative value vs performance of the quad core vs the dual core if you have some time take a gander

longarms says:

lol yeh it did prefrom well but did you see the preformance vs vale charts the little old 3600+ toped all of those but yeh im not too worried about crysis i dont actualy think its going to be a fun game my self but it dose look verry nice

and yeh an 8800GTS is all you need to run crysis seeing as the only card that is better than that is the 8800 ultra
