On your CPU situation; Have you considered overclocking?
I have OC'd a similar processor, and providing your mobo has the options, I'd figure yours would do 3.4-3.6Ghz easy (on stock voltage and cooling). That should be about right for your needs here, too.
If you're gonna buy a new CPU, I'd say go for the Intel Core i series, for sure.
There isn't much faster AMD processors out there then what you've got.
Yeah, I've read about overclocking it, but I'm nowhere as tech savvy as I should be. I'm sure I'll blow up the house or something while trying to do that.
As for the new processor, I was already recommended the i5. Is there a particular motherboard I should get that gets along fine with it and my video card? And, more importantly, are there any hardware names I should be away from while using PCSX2? Like, pieces of hardware that are outright imcompatible with the emulator? I probably should ask this question over at the Dolphin forums as well.
I have no sig!
