Will a T5850 be work fine with a 256 mb 8600M GT graphics card? Or should I get a T7250? I want to get the the T5850 because the price is lower, but won't get it if it won't work well with the 8600M GT. Thanks.
Actually, a slow processor can actually bottleneck a good video card... that's why it's always stupid to put a newer model in an old computer. However, I don't foresee any bottlenecking happening with those two processors. Good choice either way... remember that a better processor will always improve your frame rates though.
