Quad-core upgrade

[pupaxx]

Hi all,
sincerely, since CloD release in april 2011, I was tempted to upgrade my rig based on q6600. But the experience of others claiming CloD unplayable even with more powerfull cpu made me reluctant to spend my money. That said, the choice of upgrade my video card was a real boost for the performances.
I have to say that since day one I never suffered CTD, yes..some stutters but generally I was ever capable to enjoy the game even with medium-high settings, grass on, shadows on etc. So, upgrading to an old q6600 cpu would be worth if u are prone to overclock and invest in a valid graphic solution. Considering that CloD should be tuned within few months, (increasing the performance) I'll wait further. I'm with who says that spending 40-50$/€ more u can switch to a more modern cpu, but if u change completely system u have to invest in a new MB, Cpu, ram, new power supply, maybe a new case etc.etc. A dated cpu would be a bridge solution and it will worth, imaho, for a maximum expense of 100/130 € (I found some q6600 used for 70/80€). The pre-conditions are that u have at least 4 GB of ram and an 64bit OS.
Cheers
