    That's at 3.8ghz; on stock speeds it stays at 34c all the time, lol.

    As for saving up; I've been saving for this PC for 3 years! HAHAHA!

    At 3.8 lol man thats good temps for an overclock... Ive really got to change mine around (I got my mate to do it originally as he had way more experience with aftermarket HSF) I also think it hasnt got the right thermal paste on it either..

    Mine sits ar around 33 idle but goes to 50.1 ish under load.

    Yep, make sure you get some Artic Silver 5 -- some people disagree but quality thermal grease makes a huge difference.

    I've got the same card as Danigol and the same RAM as l33t

    Processor, AMD dual core 2.7 I think.

    Anyways it runs ultra except I don't do shadows. I don't like them actually and it's a big big saving.

    Apparently the patch will make the multi cores fly.

    At this point in time Empire does not function well, or at all possibly, with multi-cored CPUs.

    Multi-cored CPUs have multiple independant CPUs on the same chip.

    They are changing the way the game works to include the ability for the game to take advantage of more than one core in those CPUs with them.

    the patch will optimize multi core PCs so that they use all of their processor , not just a part of it .
