I have a Windows XP machine currently running an Intel Core2 Duo E8400 @ 3 GHz (stock).
I have two addition processors on hand to upgrade: a dual-core E8600 @ 3.33 GHz or a quad-core Q9650 @ 3.0 GHz.
The former would give me a boost in stock processor speed versus the latter at the same stock speed, but quad core.
For gaming under Windows XP, what is likely to be the best option? More raw clock speed or a couple extra cores?
