I was wondering how much of a boost I would get if I upgraded my intel e6600 cpu to a qx6700 in CoH ? I know for alot of other things going to the quad core would make a big differance.

Would haveing the quad make dual boxing work smother ?

Or do you think I would see better performance going from 4 gigs of ram to 8 ?

thanks

For multi-instancing, it CAN be beneficial because the system will not lose performance on one instance just because the second is running... but it's not much unless running several instances is already slowing you down.

For single-instances, you are better off with a higher Ghz dual-core for the price.

In your case, you are going from a 2.4duo to a 2.6quad, which is an improvement in both cases, but that depends if you think 2.6 is much of an improvement over a 2.4, and if it's worth it for you to spend the money that way.

*This opinion is based off the general core speeds and does not factor in the other specifications of each processor that may or may not make any difference.
