CPU speed will always affect your game FPS until you hit the next bottle neck. My point is if i had to spend 280 on a CPU, I would go dual core b/c it benefits me more than a quadcore RIGHT NOW. I would never dream of spending that much on a CPU though, I dont need that much out of the box speed, especially when I can get e2180's to 3.4 on air, for 200 dollars less, for games at this point in time speed > quadcore, and it will remain that way for at least the next 6 months
