So guys.
Since most games are 1-threaded this will give some idea of game performance for games which are single-threaded (most games including NS1 and NS2 are) and CPU-bound (includes NS1 and NS2). Even though some games are not single-threaded, most of the load is usually is on the first thread. Emphasis on word some, processors are complicated and different microcommands can have different executions times. So when buying a CPU for gaming, emphasize the speed of the cores, not the number of them.
My SuperPI for Core2Duo E8500@4.4Ghz = 11.138s
Download SuperPI here and give your results! Only 1M is needed.
