Over 40 too, but been playing games for not so long. Started playing with Guild Wars on my son's account, after he got bored with it. Still playing it, tried several F2Ps for a short time, WOW trial... not much of a playing experience. Find it funny…
I wouldn't agree. Generally AMD performs better with games than Intel.
To the OP - you might want to check the tomshardware.com CPU comparisson before buying. The graphics card is excellent choice by the way
I never appreciated mini games in mmo's and played them only when there's really _nothing_ else to do. But well, every addition to Stargate worlds that makes it look complete is welcome
