    Alright guys i have seen a lot of core i7 info on these threads but not a lot of core i5. I am getting mine (core i5 4 GB RAM 250 GB) today. I have little to no knowledge on how to use fraps/benchmarks/drivers...lol total noob. But i have seen several people go out of their way in order to HELP the community so i figure it’s my turn.

    I have C&C3, C&C kanes wrath, Bioshock1 & 2, and oblivion downloaded on Steam. I am going to have a lot of free time this weekend so i am down to do any tests needed. Just tell me where to go and what to do (pretend you are telling your grandparents, who think a computer is a glorified typewriter). LINKS WOULD BE VERY HELPFULL.

    Any other Core i5 people feel free to add their 2 cents

    try ocing it too to see the max stable clock. And if you wouldnt mind trying a couple of benches with turboboost off (it almost doubled fps with i7 on gta4) as some games aren't optimized for it
