New Computer

[Sajuuk]

Your current processor is a Dual core, yes. The one you want to get is a quad core. We're switching out processors, going from a dual to a quad.

Yes, the black edition should be compatible, as the only difference between a black/non black is that the CPU multiplier is locked on the non-black. What does this mean to you? It's easier to overclock.

Also, keep in mind that you're using onboard video, which isn't exactly the best in the world. In addition to a new processor, I'd suggest looking into a newer graphics card. Ati has some of the best bang-for-buck graphics cards out there. Remember, Northrend can be pretty graphically intensive. While the CPU will definitely allow you to run five clients, upgrading your GPU (among other things, but your onboard is pretty weak) will allow you to get more performance while running five.


teehee. My system is all Intel/Nvidia and I'm recommending AMD/ATI products. Well, it's not like I'm a great big fanboy.

Just to mention: right now with the above CPU/GPU we're sitting at right around 200Euros. (pre tax/shipping)
