"E5300 for the same price beats 7850 in everything but gaming performance."

Gaming performance matters, probably more so than most other general performance.

I mean how much worse can it be at loading windows, running office, internet browsing etc? They must be very similar to the user. I expect that hard drive and memory performance, or lack of, will hurt more.

do your prices include mobo costs???

"C'mon people" and "let's work this problem" both of which died with half the other American crap we see on UK TV.

I would allow "dammit" as in "dammit Janet" under the title 'retro humour'.

E5300 for the same price beats 7850 in everything but gaming performance. It also overclocks better being a 45nm part, and so an OC'd e5300 will also perform better in gaming than an OC'd 7850.

The dammit thing died a while back Inq. Let it be....
