I've asked that same question myself and I couldn't come up with an answer that I could even justify to my self. That was on the list at about this time in the schedule and so I started to look for that upgrade--but I don't need it. The only two things I put the
CPU to work at is folding and multimedia stuff. The E4300 handles that stuff with ease.
It's the testosterone flowing-What I should upgrade is my power supply. This is a good 500w
PSU but it is 500w and that is just a little to close to the margin for my tastes. Going to see if ccp will raise up and guide me on one of those-or someone else who knows
PSU's, maybe MUff1n. ccp sure taught me not to pick one myself! I'd research, check the specs, and ask his opinion, and he would come back with a review of the thing frying a motherboard or something similar. So I think
PSU hunting-600w to 750w-is what I need.
CPU I don't need, just want! LOL
