And what do you need all this for when not playing games? 😉 Most demanding application for me is watching a BD and this was also possible on my old Athlon...would be waste of money for me to buy something newer. Therefore I am glad to get a cheap upgrade 😎
Looking at the intel side C2D, C2Q are enough for most peoples needs. Really the biggest difference is the speed of the onboard video especially when rendering web pages. I use an i5-2540m and i7-2820qm in my main computers. Those are going on 6-7 years now.
