[QUOTE="AfshinBarani, post: 1195496, member: 122895"] Core2Duo to i5 will defenitely make a difference, but going from i3 530 to another CPU is another story. Your CPU was old and weak even for video playbacks. Having a dedicated GPU like GT430 with CUDA cores will help to reduce CPU Load (using HW Accelerating options) and having a smoother playbacks and changing the RAM from DDR2 to DDR3 will help as well. In your case a combination of massive CPU upgrade and other things made the difference. But i3 530 is much faster than your old C2D CPU and is more than enough for having a very responsive MP. Of course changing that to a High End CPU will make things a little smoother, but compared to adding a SSD the differences will be marginal. And don't forget to add the cost of purchasing another M/B as well. So instead of spending 200-300$ to upgrade his CPU/MB i think adding a SSD will be a much better choice. Ofcourse if money isn't the problem he can do both. [/QUOTE]
