K well, i am about to buy a comp here soon, i was looking at barebone kit.net they have amazing deals, and i was looking at the FSB speeds, i was wondering, does FSB have anything to do with lag? like if i have low FSB does it mean my games will lag or no? i was going to get a processor that had Dual 2.4 Ghz with 2000 Mhz of FSB but then i saw another processor they had that was Quad 2.2 Ghz but had 3600 Mhz of FSB, i know with the Dual 2.4 Ghz and 2000 Mhz FSB i can play the game i want which is Warhammer, but idk if i should spend the extra money into getting that extra fsb and quad core, cuz idk if fsb makes a difference or not, im also getting 4gbz 800 Mhz of ram and a 256mb graphics card thats supported by WAR and i know it will run it well, im just confused about the FSB part. Does FSB have anything to do with games? or what. Thanks in advance! :D
 
FSB has nothing to do with games, or even really speed in general. do you mind posting a budget? the two processors your talking about are made by AMD (i can tell by the FSB speeds, Intel uses very different ones.)

the reason i ask is because it would be much easier to have us show you a nice computer or parts to build one.
 
Ahhh it doesn't?? hmmmm, yea both are made by AMD i thought AMD was better for gaming thats why im trying to get those type of processors, my budget is actually around 320-350, i already got a graphics card so i dont need that, at barebonekit.net i had made a comp that had this so far. for only $299.89
