you lost that bet.

im no on a E5200 and its nothing compared to a QX9650, most noticeable on daily bases on flash an animated gifs, but also on TF2, the cpu pukes itself when theres to much action even though i have a 4870 oced. On my QX9650 everything was smooth a a baby bottom, on the E5200 not... need to oc that lil bastard higher, 3,2ghz dont cut it.
