If you are only going to upgrape cpu and not mobo and ram, you must look for a socket 775 quad core. Here in SA it is more expensive to buy older cpu than just get a new socket 1155 mobo, cpu and ddr3 ram. Maybe sell your old stuff and try to do a decent upgrade.

Those games shouldn't crash the machine. Are all your drivers up to date?

[reaper15058832]

I suggest a format and reinstallation of everything you need. ONLY what you need. That CPU should run all those games like yeno said. But if you want to upgrade...quad core is the way to go.

thanx guys 4 ur help.my drivers and mobo bios r fully updated.Now i`ve two options either format and reinstall the drivers or change cpu 2 quad core.thanx again.

[reaper15058832]

Well, if you have the money for a small upgrade, I would do both. A decent 775 socket quad will last you a while. A format will clear up other issues.

THANX.one more thing would i go 4 core 2 duo(e7500\e8400 etc. with better cache memory than e5700) if quad core is out of my budget???

[PapiFiveNine]

That would be a waste of money.

[reaper15058832]

Yes, that would be a waste of money. You won't see any performance increase....maybe a few fps, but like the bare minimum of an increase. I would go quad all the way and never look back. Even if it means selling my organs on the black market!

[deepcontai]

Thanx.i`ll go 4 quad core.can any one suggest me which model i should buy and please give me details(cache memory,speed etc.) and of course the price......thanx.
