    Default Processor

    I am thinking of buying a new computer. However I have some problems picking out which processor to go with it.

    Can anyone tell me in plain English what the difference is between Intel i7 and Intel Core Quad?

    I7>Quad in most cases. Value for money? I don't know. What I DO know is that higher processor speeds (clockspeeds) in ghz are the important thing with older games like RTW, as they do not take advantage of multiple CPU cores, they only use one. And you'll get more help in the Basement.

    Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming.

    Indeed the Basement is where this kind of questions belongs.
