I do play some Facebook games, and those are amazingly processor-intensive. I know it ran my dual-core processor fluctuating between 35% and 60%, even more than Final Fantasy XI, which is a real, full-screen video game. I don't think any of the facebook apps will be much of a challenge to any one of these cores. A world of difference between the old Athlon 64 X2 and these FX chips. I hope so. They weren't really a challenge (judging by the smoothness of playing) even to my Athlon 64 X2 4200+ as long as I only had one game running at a time, although I think my bad capacitor next to the PCIe slot was causing some animation problems in certain games. And I hope I didn't mess things up by buying over-rated parts this time around. All these discussions in this group and others have got me worried pretty deeply. Yet when I built my Fatal1ty AN9 32x system, I didn't think about the speed at which the CPU could utilize memory. I just got some memory I knew was compatible along with a mid-range processor, and that was the most stable system I have ever built. Maybe by happenstance, I just picked out the right hardware without thinking about it. I put a lot of thought into what I was doing with this new hardware, but now I'm all stressed out. I don't care if it's not the fastest computer in town as long as it's stable. And I always take my time putting it all together and making sure all the cables and wires are plugged into the right spots. If I see sparks and smoke, I'll be stuck using this Abit NF-7 I'm using now, and I think of jokes about 386 machines. With the processing power that's needed today for certain things, trying to cram that down this PCs throat does make it act like a 386. Damaeus |
