ill tell you a little secret about coding games and java apps dude, a processor CANT FETCH data faster than the storage can give it and the speed at which storage gives a cpu data is measured by its random access reads and writes speed. A 4 ms random write/seek provides only 250 requests (fetches) per second, wich means your 3GHZ quad core isn't working faster than 250 HZ, most drives do 12ms read write, so a pc runs around 100HZ 2 AND 3 GHZ chips are overkill,unless you have like a ramsan300

pretty soon when (one microsecond write speed) ssds become affordable, game companies will probably start wirting games in Ultra Panavision (2.76:1)

You don't have enough ram to start the game....

Hmm not my Q6600 I had it oc'ed to 3.0 GHz and our power bill stays under 200 bucks.....

Is there any other company that makes games like turkish company crytek

agreed, high performance desktop cpus are overkill for any computer tasks, and wasted money, + they overheat / cause instability cost up to 250$ extra a year in power drainage/ bad for the environment / cpu microwaves elevate body and room temperature /need cooling fans as noisy as hair dryers, they just suck. why cant they just make atom processors for the desktop for fucks sake

the only progress AND BETTERMENT desktop cpus can make from now on is in the energy efficiency department for example a 10w TDP, 3 GHZ, desktop cpu would be a revolutionary breakthrough or 4 distinct *small form factor* low voltage oscillator clocks in a one 775 socket chip that parallel processes and only consumes 1 watt, such as the via Eden .

mtron ssd drive aside, you can only get performance from processors if they run parallel on 4 sockets, like on tyan boards, cpu cores dont improve performance, cores is marketing glamor, you need separate ultra energy efficient processors to clip data and accelerate it.

i play crisis without a hick up on a old 350 mhz cpu 250MB of pc100 ram and an old matrox video card with 64MB of ram!! the secret ?hard drive in my box is an MTRON PRO-G 110MB/S O.1-MS ACCESS TIMES! eat my dust!
