Dell 490

[HamiKami1995]

Hey guys   

 

I have a Dell 490 with Intel 5000X GU083 motherboard. Currently I am running Two Xeon 5160 (2 cores and 4mb cache per CPU).

I was hoping if anyone would please tell me that weather i can upgrade my processor to Xeon E5450 ? 

Does 2 Processors make a difference ? And will it be good enough to run games like Dying light or AC unity (if i use my two Xeon 5160)? 

Thank you

not sure about the upgrade, but I can tell you that 2 CPUs will be utilised in very few games, if any afaik.

So a single Quad core processor is better than 2 processors with 2 cores each ?

For gaming, yes as it'll be utilised a lot more

Will Ghz of processor matter ? Like if i compare gaming on 2 core processor with 3.00Ghz and a 4 core processor with 1.80 Ghz

Depends on the game, but nearly always, the dual core with 3GHz as IPC in most games matters more than the cores.

So my current [Dual CPU] Xeon 5160 (http://ark.intel.com/products/27219/Intel-Xeon-Processor-5160-4M-Cache-3_00-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB ) is enough to play Dying light and AC unity like games ?

Not sure about Unity, as it runs bad on nearly anythiing. I don't know about dying light either, sorry.
