You would think Ubisoft would support the Bulldozer based architectures more given their digging themed names like bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller and Excavator.

It's always interesting to see the diverse answers on the forums. Some are straight to the point, others are odd ball ways of doing something. All of which still get the job done, but still. Interesting to read.

It's not overclockable since there's no K after the CPU name.

Yea. But in all honesty, you're not going to be missing much. My brother has a 2550K and has never been overclocked.

maybe a slight bottleneck in CPU heavy games, but it shouldn't be that bad at all.

2nd gen I think you can still OC a little, just not as much. I think you can go to 41 multiplier or so, not sure.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.
