please help. I need some advice. I want to upgrade the cpu in my computor. What I want to know is which one of these cpu's would run fs better. A [email protected] or a [email protected] They are almost the same price and my mobo will support both. All I use the computor for is to surf the net and fs. thanks! keith

The e8500 would deliver higher raw framerate but the q9550 would be smoother by virtue of less stuttering (no pausing to load textures).
