I'm currently running an X48/E8500 combo... anyone have any idea about performance difference to say a P55/I7-860 combo in gaming?
(assuming all else the same)...

My gut feeling is that the difference would be small... in the region of 5 fps... depending on the particular game... the video card is the major determinant ...

anyone else have any idea about this? seen any benchmarks? ]]> General Gaming ]]> http://www.abxzone.com/forums/f178/p55-i7-860-performance-over-x48-119588.html http://www.abxzone.com/forums/f178/help-me-decide-what-does-everyone-119556.html Sun, 25 Oct 2009 21:48:51 GMT 500 GB SATA-II HDD UDMA 300 7200 16MB
