I'm amazed at my 9550, I've had it.. 12-13 years, and it's still fine for general gaming, fairly sure any bottlenecks are just the aging GPU. There's absolutely no WAY in 2010 you'd be using even the best 1997 processor for anything gamey. I've certainly got my moneys worth! And for normal non gaming stuff, it still flies, paired with an SSD and 8gb. Mine is slightly overclocked to 3ghz but I've no interest in pushing it higher. It's been higher years ago but it's old and I'm taking care of it ;) I see no reason to upgrade for now. MS can go screw themselves with their new hardware requirements, I've also a newer much faster i7 hyperthreaded with 12gb that STILL doesn't meet their mad Windows 11 requirements - they can get lost!

@@JohnCena-gt3sg Well I'm writing this on a q9550/8gb as it's still my main computer even though I have a faster one :) Yes for general use it's still plenty fast. 2gb is pretty tiny these days, I had 4 originally in this but now use 8 and with bloaty software now it's very useful. Looking at the specs the 9550 is much faster even single core never mind fact it's quad,. I've a netbook with 2gb and that's just too small. Internet/Movies are fine. Re games I've a 750 TI in it that I've had for years and it plays things like say Skyrim well with good settings or War Thunder on Low Settings. I've a GT 1030 that's a lot newer that seems similar spec to a 650 ti in another computer that had lower power requirements,. It makes a huge difference for less demanding 3d games, onboard GPU from that era will tend to be rubbish. My only thoughts are is don't spend a huge amount doing the above upgrades as the memory etc won't be usable really in a new computer but if you can do it **cheapily** go ahead, it would make a huge difference? I like this computer but I do worry about it getting so old that something on the motherboard might fail. If nothing fails I'll keep using it. (I've an SSD in it as well, it's got the old system copied onto it, but not essential, old drive was failing). My other thought is - if you don't need all your old OS and you might pick up say a second hand PC like a dell relatively cheaply with a better spec, but they can be iffy about graphics cards. (Which is why I have the 1030 in a second hand dell). Neither of course will work with windows 11 as it's hardware requirements are just insane but I don't want that anyway :)

these CPUs are good at calculations even compared to todays processors, -- yr problem is no mem controller on the chip, the mem controller is on the northbridge -- / there is no memory side bandwith, all data going to and from each core, ram memory, pcix, and I/O, all goes through the same bus making for a hellish bottleneck

It rly depends on your motherboard, sample and cooler how far you will be able to overclock it. My overclock worked fine even on the stock c2q copper core cooler. As for what gpu you should pair it, I wouldn't rly go higher that a 750ti, it also depends a lot of the games you are playing but even my gtx580 was sometimes bottlenecked by the c2q. I also tested the plattform with different more powerful cpu's later like a 10x multiplier xeon and I can assure you that even with 1066MHz ram and 4,1GHz clock you are still going to be limited by the FSB speed, it just hasn't got enough bandwidth. If you can I would suggest you to jump to X58, I got a rly nice board + a i7 930 with 4gb ram + stock cooler for 60€ including shipping, if you can get a similar deal get a big cooler and an X5650 and overclock it to 4,4-4,5GHz. I may do a video on that soon. These chips didn't even rly bottleneck a gtx1080ti in most cases in my testing so should be more than fine with one of those.

@@siddiqueabubakar9348 I wouldn't suggest you a G41 board at all, even if they are cheap they dont get over 360-370MHz FSB because you cant change the FSB termination and Northridge voltages. Also 60$ is a lot of money for an old p45 board, try finding something 1156/1151/1366 based for a similar price (I wouldn't go with a Chinese board if its 1156 or 1366 based with which you cant overclock because these old platforms need high clock speeds to perform exceptionally in modern games, on sandy and ivy bridge you should be fine with lower clock speeds because of the higher IPC and i5's are going for around 30€ so they are great value).The GTX760 might be a good choice depending on how much you would have to spend on it. I don't know how available parts on the used market are in your location but I wouldn't spend over 55€ including shipping for a 760.

@@crunchyroll7734 well, the Core2 architecture is extremely limited by its FSB so higher clock speeds on the cpu don't rly help a lot in most modern games (in cinebench they do) because these games are memory heavy and the link between the cpu and ram (the fsb) just is a huuuuge bottleneck. I experimented with a higher multiplier cpu and p45 board (won't be making a video on it though as the project went horribly wrong) and in games the performance isn't much better (if at all) at 4,3Ghz than it is at 3,6Ghz. At a curtant point (I guess at about 3,6-3,8Ghz these cpu's just stop scaling with clocks on memory heavy tasks such as games.

Ho un q9550 e una scheda madre asrock g41m-vs3 e il mio problema é che anche con frequenza stock il processore di norma sta sui 55°C ma gia solo aprendo firefox sale a 67°C circa mentre se faccio uno stress test con cpu-z (stress test non molto pesante dicono su internet) arriva a 100°C... É un problema del processore o del dissipatore? Il dissipatore é un dissipatore che ho preso da un altro pc con socket am2 e ce lo appoggio solo perché non posso agganciarlo e quindi applicare pressione sulla cpu, potrebbe essere per questo?

I would advise you to upgrade to X58, there isn't a performance difference between the 775 and 771 CPU's, actually there are just re brands and were desirable for a curtain time because they were cheaper than their 775 consumer counterpart. I would advise you to get a X58 board, prefferebly from Asus, a Xeon X5650 or better like an x5660 or x5675 and 12gb of ram. You shouldn't pay more than 120€ for ram, CPU and Motherboard. Keep in mind that your cooler also has to support LGA1366. But a X58 32nm Xeon is still a very good cpu at a low price and won't bottleneck your 1660super for shure if you Overclock if to 4.3-4.7GHz ish.
