I don't get that great performance in games, even though I think my computer should be

no I don't think it's bad, but that was my guess for your bottleneck in gaming. Overall games rely more heavily on gfx cards than they do cpus so a workhorse gfx card can compensate for a slower cpu and provide for a smoother gaming experience. The 1300 is the 'low-end' of the 1000 series radeon cards and if you really wanted to upgrade something, that's where I'd start.Jcart wrote:Hrmm really, I think thinking it's more of a CPU problem.. is the x1300 that bad?
