[SOLVED] Gaming on Core2Quad

[ham0300]

Hi friends,

I have Pentium D processor 3.4GHZ, which is running on intel DG31PR chipset.
Now i want to upgrade and purchase Core2Quad for gaming.

My question is that can this chipset perform well on core2Quad?
According to intel site, chipset is compatible with processor.

But one of my friend (who is a computer shop retailer) says that you can run Quad on chipset but it will not perform well. According to him compatibility and performance two different thing. He suggested me to buy core2duo. Is it really so? and it is worth less to buy core2quad?

Please Reply

you still need a good graphics card

I have got ATI 4830.

For gaming, get a good dual core, it will suffice. Get something like a E8200 or E8400 or if your budget doesnt allow then a E7500

Here is my reply:

Core 2 Quad isn't worthless. It is better choice than Core 2 Duo in current times.

Intel DG31PR is a Classic series Motherboard and is designed for mainstream market. It does not supports OC like Intel Extreme series Motherboards.

I would also suggest Motherboard upgrade, if you plan to get a Core 2 Quad processor.

You can buy the processor now and get a new Motherboard later. And if not, than settle down for a Core 2 Duo.

definitely u need an upgrade as pentium D sucks in gaming (and almost in every apps) go for decent dual core...and change ur motherboard to asus/msi which supports overclocking

Quad core itself very powerful, then why over clocking. I m happy without oc.
But not one of you answer me what i asked, I asked you, Will Core2quad not able to work good on DG31PR or it will perform.
or DG31pr effects its performance or not? please leave overclocking

kahin aisa to nahi hoga k Core2quad ki performance duo jaise ho jai, because my friend said that quad with dg31pr couldn't even run win 7 well.
is it so?

Core2Quad will work fine with the board , but its still recommended that you get some asus or msi mobo..
