Will unparking my cores really help if Civ4 only uses 1 core? The other cores won't help regardless of if they're parked or not?
Should use the other cores if the first core is fully outpowered. Just try it. Also i have a SSD, should be standard now for a game'ing computer. Help's alot.
DAMN i updated now again, game still working, good job. Continuing my game for months now.
is coming up next month and I will be 66. 

Buy a small one, 120 GB SSD maybe, they are cheap now but get a good samsung or scandisk or WD, you can use your old harddrive as second drive and put windows on the SSD and the games that you want to run fast.
Put the other stuff to your old drive, girl videos and all the stuff thta dont need to mutch power...
Damn that sucks. But good if you are married 45 years, mostly not the case here anymore. I teach my girlfriends to accept my girl videos. 



Skyrim in this... ohho...
