E2220?

[Granite]

Hi, im thinking about picking up the E2220 and the Thermaltake Blue Orb FX CPU fan. I was thinking about bumping it to 3.2 ghz, would this be any good for gaming. I know 3.2ghz is great but not sure about dual cores..... Thanks in advance!

So, you should think about picking up the E5200

Hmm, maybe someone in australia can find you an E5200 for around the same price? I dont know any of the computer stores around there so i cant beof help. But to answer your question, the e2220 provides about the same or a little more performance clock for clock as the amd athlon's. Should work pretty good with a decent gpu.
