After seeing all of this discussion about Ryzen and the i5 and i7 CPU's constantly, I was wondering how many of you guys are still rocking a system with a C2Q?
Known as Intel's first mass market quad core chip, this thing still trucks along, even in modern games. I have a q9450 2.66 GHz version running in my machine, and it's still my main gaming machine. All I needed was the max 8 GB and a 1050 ti.
The fact that this thing can even play Fallout 4 on Ultra and still be on par or have slightly better fps than consoles is amazing to me. I don't have any serious plans about replacing it any time soon, so I plan on keeping it going for as long as I need. There's just something about older hardware that still trudges on while continuing to be useful.
Anyway, you guys still using a similar chip from this line?
