Replace core 2 duo with quad

[himanshugangwal12]

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo e7500 with An AMD R5 230 1gbGpu and a 2gb ram what if I replace core 2 duo with Core2Quad q6600 and 4gb ram.

How much will the performance Increase??

The RAM will improve the everyday performance more than the CPU. The E7500 has a higher base clock speed than the Q6600. But games that can use more than two cores will benefit from the additional CPU resources. There is no simple answer on "how much increase?" because it will depend on the software you are running.

I would recommend doing the RAM increase and even an SSD swap if you can. See how that works, then swap the CPU at a later time. You will be able to see which things impact your performance most.

Question from himanshugangwal12 : "I Need Help"

I am currently using a gigabyte g41m th12 motherboard with 6 GB of RAM and intel core2 duo e8600 how much gaming will be affected if i change it to intel core2quad q6600 .Will it make a huge difference?I am using it with AMD R5 230 GRAPHICS CARD.

What games are you planning to play on your system? It won't be affected by much. You could look into dropping a Q9550 into that board and also look at 8GB's of ram in dual channel(without mixing and matching sticks) and you will find it significant;y faster than what you have but for the latest games out there, you will need to drop down the resolution as well as the in-game details.

How do i increase my gaming performance on my pc with core2d e8600 ?
