anyway it will be a nice upgrade for your pc, but overall you won't notice big performance gain until you upgrade your CPU. the loading times like on zone change will be a bit faster

if you wanna check better what's bottlenecking you, you can run an application already installed in windows 7 called "resource monitor". it will tell you how much your pc is using of each resource (ram, cpu, disk) and you can filter it by application.

another app is process explorer by microsoft downloadable at http://technet.microsoft.com/it-it/s.../bb896653.aspx. it can tell you also the GPU usage.
Zohno, it looks like the cpu is the culprit. It is using anywhere from 60 - 98% when running through towns. I have tried to overclock it to 4.0ghz but even with all my installed fans / water cooling cpu fan, the temp reaches over 55C and it worries me that the cpu could burnout at any second.

I think the suspicions are confirmed and sooner or later it will be time for a new mobo, HDD, RAM, and cpu.

Thanks again!
