Hello all,
My main rig is a mighty Hackintosh, an i7 overclocked with terabytes of space, a decent video card, and lots of RAM... but it looks like the Mac port is coming slowly...
So I'm considering upgrading my HTPC, which is in a smaller case with a E5200 and a m-atx motherboard, 2GB DDR2, and a lowly 8500GT...
If I bought something like a E8400, and nothing else, would it be enough to play Wii games smoothly and enjoyably? I have a 23" 1080p monitor, so it would either need to run 1080p, or some smaller equal ratio if it would still look good...
If it would take more than an E8400, it would probably just be cheaper to actually buy a Wii...
Or what about a Q6600? They're slower per core, and I couldn't OC it with my HTPC motherboard, but there's a used one around town for $100...
