Road Question

[Ama]

<p>Before I hit the dusty trail for a while I wanted to ask the guru's here how EQ2 would handle this <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121330&Tpk=skulltrail" target="_blank">puppy</a>.  When I come back after a while I maybe sporting a new beast machine with 2 quadcore processors running 3.0 gigs.  Would EQ2 have a spaz attack if I am running a system like that?</p>

<p>Thanks for the input about this board it's appreciated.  Talked to some other computer people and they say to skip the 2 quad cores and just go for a single core i7 processor and to not even try SLI cards. </p>
