Currently rocking a core 2 quad q9400, and looking to move to a DDR3 setup. Im trying to find out how the amd athlon 860k runs in comparison to the q9400 as im looking for a fairly notable upgrade. the anandtech benchmarks are kind of conflicting though im not at all familiar with bench tests (http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/76?vs=1707)
Does anyone have any input? if not that, whats the best processor I can get for <$75 thatll be a noticeable upgrade? my big thing is I want just a little less CPU bottleneck in badly optimized games, as the DDR3/8GB upgrade is what I need the most. Thanks for any input!
