Oh...what a waste, E8400 was almost built just to OC, it OC's easily...and so well.

You'll probably get about the same performance than me, or a little better due to advanced architecture and yoru 9800GTX.(Did you edit that down to a 8800?)

Please reconsider though, Over-clocking is safe and easy, and well worth it. It's almost a crime to buy a E8400 and NOT OC.

I see your edit.

Persona 3...not sure, @ 3.4GHZ, some battles get me down to 30FPS, and some scenes 25-27FPS, you really should OC it.(I've read a 4.0GHZ E8400 got full speed, even if only 600MHZ more, it's architecture is insane, I guess)

GoW2...No one knows, as it isn't playable, but considering it's a late PS2 game...probably require a beast.

FF's your set though.

Also remember games that aren't emulated properly may not run full speed.

Such as "Shadow Hearts' for example, even if I run it in DX10 mode and it barely uses my CPU or GPU, it can get down to 45FPS sometimes, due to not being emulated properly, and it's graphics are worse than FFX. Yet FFX can go 100FPS+
