Core of the problem 21/09/2010

Well last night I ran the Final Fantasy XIV benchmark test, to be able to get the game running at a good clip I needed a score of about 3000. My computer seems to play games at a semi decent speed so I figured it would not be a problem, I was wrong.

My score was a pathetic 600. Honestly I was shocked, I have a decent graphics card and 3 Gig of ram. The problem was something else, something I had completely forgotten about.

My CPU, this computer is about five years old and I have upgraded the graphics card and the ram but the CPU is the same one it shipped with. A single core, I should have been more mindful of it. The cut scenes in Star Craft II where slow and I had to turn down the quality of them.

So the question now is, how can I upgrade my computer or indeed get a new one. Seeing as the Church mouse has more cash than me!
