Hi Twistedone
I did a lot of work on performance optimisation. Before trying to improve the performance of a system it is necessary to decide what you are trying to improve and do a lot of investigation to find out where your current performance bottlenecks are.
Are you trying to improve the frame rate on running one or more games? Then the bottleneck is likely to be the performance of the graphics card and bandwith of the bus between the graphics card and the processor.
If you are not maxing out your current two cores on whatever you are running now, adding another two cores isn't going to provide any improvement. Try measuring the processor utilisation while pushing your rig hard.
More details on what you are trying to achieve would also help.
