[QUOTE="JakeXPMan, post: 594366, member: 29270"] I3 and I5 benchmark excellent scores, 3000+ 5000++ An intel quad goes a long way, but I think the cheapest option, around $150-180 dollars with a 500GB drive and W10. I don't quite want to spend over 100, not YET anyway. I can get by I think with what I bought yesterday, we'll see! I do Google app games, like angry birds type stuff, slot machine, and the graphic excessive Farming game, which lags pretty bad on 626 benchmark. Had to use a booster with Process Lasso helped the lag a little but still not great. Here's the CPU Boss advantages to my new PC's CPU compared with my current CPU, Much higher clock speed 3.4 GHz vs 2 GHz 70% higher clock speed More threads 2 vs 1 Twice as many threads More cores 2 vs 1 Twice as many cores; run more applications at once Significantly better overclocked clock speed (Water) 3.4 GHz vs 2 GHz 70% better overclocked clock speed (Water) Better overclocked clock speed (Air) 3.4 GHz vs 3.11 GHz Around 10% better overclocked clock speed (Air [/QUOTE]
