p.s. Thanks for your website! I've used it so many times over the past couple of years; very helpful.

I've got the 9550 oc'd to 3.74. My son has the 2400, at stock speed. Both perform about the same; no discernible difference. The SSD I got does make a difference, especially boot time and Chrome loading time. Thinking back, I reckon a dual core with an SSD would suffice for most games and apps still of now. Anyway, go TRUMP, Go MAGA, Go MEGA!
