the ram and cpu

i'm not choosing what to buy, I'm just asking how better is my current computer compared to my old one

The RAM is the faster, more efficient DDR3 ram, and is clocked to 800mhz instead of 300
The CPU uses a newer socket and a different architecture
The motherboard is a big name
There are two hard drives.

I mean, it's right there in front of you... Seems pretty obvious

No I just want more opinions on it.  I'm sorry if I sounded irritated.

Well for one thing you have more RAM and it is also a better type of RAM.  DDR2 is slower than DDR3.  Plus it runs at over twice the mghz.

What I was asking is was it a big difference?

It's not going to run well, it will run like crap, it will run on probably less than 10FPS on the lowest settings possible.

Ouch.

What I was asking is was it a big difference?

Yes, the CPU and RAM were both big differences. RAM was twice as fast as the old, CPU is superior over the other one, and it runs cooler.

It's a false reading for some reason

I'm assuming you are talking about the build I posted.

The processor's onboard GPU doesn't have its own video dedicated RAM, it uses RAM from the RAM sticks in the motherboard (or so I've heard), and with 8 gb of RAM for the whole computer,  I'm guessing it would use about 2 gb of RAM just for the onboard GPU.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Integrated GPU's are crap for gaming and will always be crap.
APU's are a joke to the gaming consumers.
Just because a GPU has a lot of VRAM doesn't make it super duper good.

You need a good dedicated GPU for PlanetSide 2. Keyword dedicated.

So would running a dual graphics/crossfire mode with an AMD 6670 work?
