CPU maxed
So my CPU is maxing out when playing BF3 and I'm thinking about upgrading it. I am wondering if you guys think I can get away with just upgrading my CPU for a bit or if I should go for a whole MB, CPU, Memory combo deal. My memory looks fine when I run task manager have about 6GB free. My motherboard says it takes What is your advice and what would you recommend??
I currently have the following processors
Intel Socket 775 Core™2 Quad/Pentium® Extreme/Pentium® D/Pentium® 4/Celeron Processors
Compatible with Intel® 05B/05A/06 processors
Support Intel® 45nm CPU
Here is my current rig below
MB - Asus P5N-E SLI
CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 GHz
Memory - 8GB 400 MHz DDR2 800
Should I go quad core or do you think I will see any improvement if I buy a dual core 3.4GHz?

I would really like to keep it under 400. I will have to buy more RAM when I do this too since I am going to build another computer out of my old one.

Re: CPU maxed
any quad core will do the trick. however 775 quads are in that strange out of production expensive phase. if you can find one localy or from a friend you could get more life from your 775.
your kinda in the whole banana boat. you can get a new mobo mem and i5k for like 400 i think. even cheaper if you went amd 300'ish
