4 Reasons to reconsider upgrading your PC.
With the release of Nvidia's latest flagship cards, I, and many other PC gamers, have been bombarded with the same old enticing phrases, such as “The World’s fastest graphics card”, that have come to play with our desires, but with advent of unoptimized games lately and the fact that the last major release of a graphic milestone was in 2007, are these top-of-the-line hardware really necessary? Nope. Why?

7 PC games that run noticeably better on Quad Core CPUs.
Although many PC gamer already has a quad core CPU, many popularPCgames, such as Crysis, do not take advantage of all the available cores. In fact, only a handful of games do, which leads us to the question as to why should we invest in a quad core when a dual core would suffice. Thus, in order to justify the purchase of a Quad Core, we list the 7 games that best take advantage of Quad Core CPUs.
In this list, we will compare the E6600 to the Q6600 because the difference is just the addition of two cores to the Q6600. We will also specify a percent increase in order to compensate for the differences in resolution and graphic cards among systems.
