Hi guys,
I recently upgrade my CPU from a T4300 to a T9300 in my old 2009 Gateway NV54 laptop and the difference is pretty remarkable. I want to upgrade to a Core 2 Extreme X9000 and was wondering if you guys know if I would even notice anything substantially different? I don't really game. Just watch HD videos and occasionally do video/ photo editing. I currently have an SSD in my computer and the RAM is maxed out at 4 GB. Here's a comparison:
T9300: 2.5 Ghz / 6M cache
X9000 (unlocked): 2.8 Ghz / 6M cache
Also, in terms of overclocking I know that the C2X9000 is unlocked, but to overclock don't you need an unlocked bios or will that option automatically come up in my bios to change the frequency? I modified my bios to unlock a few settings, but couldn't fully unlock the overclock settings for my current cpu.
Thanks.
