Yes, same here. Devs have stated to have optimised a LOT from SupCom, but I imagine that the multicore support will be about the same.

I highly recommend upgrading to a duo core if you have a single core.  I use to have the same as you a P4 3.4ghz and I also had an 8800gt and I thought it was the tits. 

But after upgrading to a 8400 3ghz clocked at 4ghz and buying new ram (2 gigs), still kept the 8800gt and its a huge difference in game performance. 

I can't wait to test it out on demigod!

Your old system was so processor capped it wasn't funny. Well, actually it is now . The problem with his is that there's pretty good odds it's an AGP motherboard, so he may need to change the motherboard and video card as well as the processor.

My video card is new, and I have upgraded Ram, Plus every few months I wipe off the hard drive with partition commander and reinstall windows and the Game I am playing at the time.

(My pc is a gaming computer thats all I use it for)

I thought that you had a 7 series card. Is that a different computer? If you have a PCIe motherboard with the right CPU socket buy a Core 2 quad. You will not regret it.

I had to upgrade the MOBO/RAM/CPU I also bought a 30 dollar heat sink so I could overclock it, all in all the cost was $410, well worth it.

I kept my powersupply 470W/Case(Alienware Area 51) and all the other stuff, like cd/dvd,etc.

You had to upgrade the RAM? You had DDR 1!? No wonder your computer got faster, that's also a big upgrade. And yes, $410 is a good deal to get your computer that big an upgrade.

I paid $115 for a motherboard, $40 for 2gb of OCZ ddr2-800, $170 for an E6750 2.66 dual core back a year ago..  Now you could get a Q6600 for that I think, and the ram for $20.

computer parts are EXTREMELY cheap right now.  You can build a computer that'll run supcom very well for about $600, not including the operating system, case, keyboard, mouse, harddrives,  monitor.  Use your old ones duh.

I've kept the same case for 4 years, monitor for 5.  Usually I upgrade motherboard, cpu, ram every 3 years, graphics card then 1.5 years later and every 3 years.

How would upgrading my CPU work? Because I would love to double my processor power, I thought I had 2 Cores to start with ><

What do you mean?..

You jsut need to see if your motherboard is compatable..

And if not if your ram(new motherboards are DDR2), powersupply(20pin, 24 pin, 20 with extra 4 pin connector splice?), GPU(agp, pci-e?) harddrives(IDE? sata2?) will be compatable with the new motherboard.

It's not hard. I can teach someone about the compatability it in less than an hour if thye're competant..  you should just google upgrading pc tutorials or something

Im good techinally wise with software but hardware is a different story

Oh well, I am able to run supreme commander on High quality (with little to moderate lag, lag at a level thats not anoyying but just laggy)

If this runs as well as I think I should have no problems.

Umm, I'm willing to bet that your motherboard has the old socket type. Are you using a stock heatsink? If so, is it held on by two large lever clamps? If so, you've got the old socket type. If not, if you're comfortable taking the processor out for a second, see if the processor has pins on its back. If so, it's the old socket.

It has 2 metal hooks on the east and west sides of it hooking it to the motherboard, it has not been modified from the origional dell purchase.

Depending on how much you need to upgrade and whether you can find any good deals, it may be chaeper and easier to buy a new computer.

... what?  Really?  No.

I saved a couple hundred dollars on mine vs. what it would have cost to build it myself thanks to a major coupon. Not counting some extra Adobe software that was at no charge.

Again, it depends on what you need and can find.

That tells me it's pretty likely to be on the old socket, so you'll quite likely need a new motherboard. Unfortunately, you have a dell, so the motherboard mount is as likely as not to be proprietary and hard to change. You may want to confirm that it's on the wrong socket though, because I'm not all that familiar with the particulars of dell computers.

Im fairly certan its an old socket, but o well, my pc does run fairly well. its probally about a year and a half old, maybee a lottle more. Ill just but a new one when I need one. Any recomendations? For pure power?

If you are looking for a monster PC you can't go wrong with these guys:  www.maingear.com

Depends on your budget and what you're looking to do.

If you have insane cash, you can't go wrong with Falcon Northwest. Someday I intend to get a customized paint job by them...

If you just want pure power on the cheap, then building one yourself is the way to go, and isn't that hard actually.

On the other hand OMFG those falcon paintjobs are sick! Sometime when I can buy a computer so good the paint job won't cost more than the computer..
