I currently have a Core 2 Duo 6300 1.86GHz CPU. I am looking to upgrade it on the cheap as I cant afford to buy new mobo etc for core ix CPUs. Was just wondering wether I should go for another Core 2 Duo, if so what model would you suggest for a budget? dont realy want to spend anymore than £50. Do you think I would get any huge performance boost for this amount? or wether its pointless?
I have heard that not all the cores are utilised in a quad core, is this correct? If so is it still going to out perform a Core2 duo?
If my budget is way too low what do you think is a reasonble amount to get a reasonable performance boost?
thanks for your time
