Your opinion for Intel Xeon E5620 CPU ( Video editing, gaming )
Hello,
First of all I wanna say that I am new to this forum and as I can see, it is very helpful, keep it up people.
Alright so, few days ago I had just ordered a new ( used ) CPU, an Intel Xeon E5620 quad core 2.4 GHz
So, I was wondering what do you guys think for this CPU, would be even better to see someone's opinion who already had the same CPU or has it still.
Basically, the processor was cheap on eBay so I thought why not give it a chance, I doubt I can find a better processor for the same price ( $20 + free shipping ), though the cheapest motherboard costs much more than that, about $82 ( MSI X58 Pro )
Im gonna use it for internet browsing, video editing ( Adobe After Effects/ Premiere Pro/ Sony Vegas Pro ) though not heavy editing, just 1080p and perhaps gaming a little bit.
I currently own an AMD Athlon X2 240 2.8 GHz dual core CPU, so I guess any quad-core CPU will be a huge upgrade for me basically in everything, especially in video editing where more cores are always better, however I need your opinion for the CPU for both video editing and gaming.
Oh, I also plan to overclock it to about 4 GHz or a bit less, not more than 4 though because I have never done overclocking so I dont wanna risk anything.
