Hi and welcome All
So I decided to upgrade my system for the new Call Of Duty: Black Ops. I have the GA-P31-DS3L mainboard, the Dual Core E4600 CPU, 4gb of ram and a GT240 graphic card. The game runs almost smooth on lower details/resolution, but sometimes freezes or suffers low fps when I turn up the resolution (i prefer using the native 1680x1050 on my 22" monitor). So I decided it was time to replace the CPU - with a better cache and/or more MHz. My question is - what's the best option for me here? Can I put a better CPU in my mainboard? What would be the best fit here? Or do I simply HAVE TO upgrade my mainboard? Thanks for your help!
