Hi there guys,
I'm a hard-core Half-Life series gamer, including mapmaking, so I might need some more power out of it without hurting my wallet too much.
I've been checking the E6300 and the E4300 benchmarks, but most of the tech sites never show me the actual maximum framerates of HL2, and not even one comparison between single-and-dual core.
Since I've a Pentium 4 3.06GHz (775), which one actually worth the upgrade, the AMD's 3600 or the E4300? I know the E4300 could be a little bit more than the 3800, but which one has better overall?
And, not thinking of any overclocks. Just want my HL2 to load faster, compared to my current's 30 seconds, and run in more framerates. My current framerates are 46FPS for your info.
Any ideas? 8)
