Core 2 Quad Q8300, performance increase? Help-me!

More cache + higher clock rate. Also he would need to have overclocked that cpu to get anywhere near fullspeed on SMG.

That fastest LGA775 dual core you can find. Whatever that may be.

Then why my friend's PC (Q9400 2.66Ghz) played perfect? (over 100% almost all the time) and that the clocks are very similar?

In this case a Q8400 (2.66Ghz) is a good choice?

But 160MHz only change much?

I'm confused ... : (

Do not want to waste my money.

Seriously,OC your 5200 to 3.4-3.6Ghz and see what happen.My E5300 3.52Ghz kill any game ,won't plan to upgrade until a new CPU better than i7 release
Mario Galaxy run 70-80 FPS ingame btw

How did the multiplier and the FSB of your E5300?

Can you show a picture of CPU-Z showing the specs?

Currently the mine is in (12.5 x 200 = 2500MHz) and yours? as it was?

My PC:

Asus P5KPL-AM
2 gb Kingston DDR2 667mhz dual channel
9600gt 512mb ddr3
cosair 400W

and temperatures? the temperature here is 36 º C during the day.

what cooler do you use?

Thanks

I'm using stock cooler 1900rpm and homemade external cooler 4000rpm (from Pentium D lol) , my PC work 24/7
FSB : 13 x 270.51 = 3.52Ghz
Temp : Min 32ºC,Max 64ºC (when running dolphin)
Temp outside 37ºC daylight
If you need aftermarket cooler,look for RPM: 2400+

could help me in overclocking my E5200?

How did the frequencies of their memories? They closed at 800Mhz?

How cool would be an over on my PC?

E5200 2.5Ghz Stock
Asus P5KPL-AM FSB 1333 (OC 1600) and Freq 800Mhz Memory (1066 OC)
2x 1GB DDR2 667Mhz Kingston (identical)
Geforce 9600GT 512MB DDR3
Cosair 400W

Overclock like: (12.5 x240 = 3.0Ghz) works? using clooler factory.

How to make memories stable at 333Mhz (667Mhz)? so they do not rise along with the processor?

Thanks!

You have a DDR2 ram that work at 667Mhz or 333Mhz, if you want it to work or run (considering that your ram is capable of running at 800Mhz frequency) at 800Mhz which is also the same CPU fsb, then go into the bios and change the memory setting or frequency from 667 to 800.

then manually configuring at 667mhz (I would not use them at 800Mhz) it is locked it, and does not rise along with the fsb processor?

For example:

12.5 x240 = 3.0ghz and the memories stay at 667Mhz? (You can do this?)
