Right now I have a X2 550BE, but now that games are finally starting to utilize quad cores I want to upgrade..but I don't wanna spend more than $100. So I guess my question is, "Would I see a difference in my games and if its worth it to upgrade?" Right now I am barely breaking 30 fps with my dual core, so I was hoping the Athlon x4 635 would fix that. I have a Gigabyte 5830 coming in the mail, So how would that fair paired with the Athlon x4 635 at 1440x900 in BFBC2?
