My desktop PC has an older Core 2 E8500 CPU, 4Gb DDR2, Win10
I don't use the machine a lot as I have a i5 Laptop and tablets etc..
I've got a PC here that is being scraped which has a Quad core Q8300 in it. I could do a swap as the socket is the same and my motherboard supports this CPU.
But would it be worth it on a PC thats used for a bit of office work, internet, an old game?
The E8500 runs at 3.15Ghz and the Q8300 runs at 2.5Ghz
Would I see any advantage with the quadcore CPU or a slow down due to the lower clock speed?
