Ok. I managed to get an AMD A10-6800k for my PC. It works very well for all games but only when configuring specific settings to match the games speed. So when I configure the settings for Soul Calibur 2 and 3, it will run them perfectly but not for Tekken 4. And when I configure for Tekken 4, it will slow down the Soul Calibur games. 

If I may ask, is there any emulation, video and audio settings that will compliment for these games? Please don't tell me it's my CPU because it runs these games at 100% speed when as I said before, configure the configuration settings to match their needs. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated Smile

just as I thought

not much you can do.
Speedhacks are ... well... hacks !
means those aren't "classic" settings, but just "hacks" that could help performance in some games, sacrificing accuracy or stability (expect some crashes, BTW).
Means they won't work the same with all games.
SC2 & 3 do have a similar game engine, so using VU cycle stealing helps with it, but since the engine is different with Tekken 4, you won't get any "Golden setting" that will magically boost your CPU (which is still too weak to play Tekken 4 properly BTW)
Just as a side note : that CPU has a lower STR than the previous one.
Which means you would probably hve had better results with your other CPU in all those games with the same settings.

That's odd. I can play Tekken 4 mostly at 95% on my CPU when the right settings are chosen. It's sad that there is no configuration that will compliment for both Soul Calibur and Tekken games. Thanks anyway. I appreciate your time Smile
