First: please forgive if in wrong forum. Moderator - please move if needed, thanks.
I want to upgrade my Socket 939 CPU, mainly to speed up Battlefield 2 as I am playing at 2560x1600 resolution with AA on, so I need all the help I can get.
I have been reading a lot of S939 threads and most everyone recommends going to a dual-core processor. Yet I have read many articles stating that BF2 shows virtually no real-world benefit from dual-core.
I absolutely don't care about "future proofing" my current rig. This stuff is all obsolete almost as soon as you buy it, LOL. I'll build a new comp when I get interested in a new game. For now, I just want my current rig to play BF2 as proficiently as possible.
Which CPU should I get?
thanks
System specs:
Asus A8N SLI Deluxe mobo
AMD 3500+ 2.2GHz CPU
2GB Patriot DDR ram
e-GeForce 7950GT KO 512mb
1+ Terabyte HD total
