like I said, we've played Doom 3 just fine on those systems without need of the overclock.
Doom is just one of a billion gaming examples where the GPU affects performance moreso than the CPU. This is the age that we live in. CPU is no longer king.Ofcourse I am speaking from a gaming stand point.For the vast majority of games GPU = first priority.OC of the CPU = second.Remember, an elcheapo Sempron 2500 is no slouch. It is not like Beomagi was running a Celeron 600Mhz.
