Will core2duo gel on this configuration?

C2Ds are made for overclocking.

And how will E4400 perform in comparison to my current processor in 3D games, considering that latest games are known to be CPU intensive.

Actually latest games are graphic intensive not cpu intensive.

Moshel, was that for me or nish?

thats was for you m8.

as for E4400 i have heard that u can overclock it to the speeds of a Quad Core. I do currently own E4400 with 8500GT and although i dont get the best graphics, i can play all games easily.

Yes that's correct but I heard that they are making the latest games to utilise multiple cores. And also the minimum requirement for CPU is increasing for newer games. For a very long time 2.4GHz processor used to be enough in CPU dept although a good GPU was required. But now both CPU and GPU should be good.

@Moshel: I too think I should wait and see how the quad core of both Intel and AMD turn up. Till then I can collect more money and play some low graphic games. If I am not able to save enough money by then, E4400 seems to be a good option.

Thanks everyone. This thread was really helpful for me.
