The Windows Vista Experience Index gives 5.9 for Intel Core i7 Processors. Between, this is the highest rating that vista gave till now, and the rating is given for many processors, including AMD Athlon 64 FX-74 Processor. The source for this information is,

The first 4 being,
Intel Core i7 CPU 940 @ 2.93GHz
Intel Xeon CPU X3360 @ 2.83GHz
Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU X9650 @ 3.00GHz
Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU X9770 @ 3.20GHz
Source is indicated above. And refer the same for different processors ratings. This link provides ratings for almost all the processors released in the mere past.
The processor for gaming is the greatest demanded all over the world as the hardcore gamers are the most enthusiastic to try more and more. The software professionals do not push themselves too hard, as they are exhausted with their daily work with the PCs. Gaming in PCs Win platform itself is pretty famous as the gamers are not just gamers but they are human beings, who are interested a little more than games, like listening to music, surfing net and all. So getting a dedicated console is like wasting their time and money. And hence the PC is the future of gaming. As gaming is not just for fun, its for interaction and competition. The consoles give a multiplayer capability but sufing net at the same time matters a lot.
Comming back to the processors, the experts are showing much interest towards the AMD Athlon 64 series and Intel Core 2 Duo series of the processors for gaming. The other high end processors are just beyond the reach of normal gamer, even if he is extreme gaming freak. So these two series can be taken for granted to get a good speed of games. A good Mother board and gaming is true again.
Also heard that the nVIDIA GeForce 9500GT is costing some Rs.2500+/- in Delhi, India. The prices of these processors and MotherBoards and Graphic Cards at CTC (Chenoy Trade Center) Hyderabad, can be obtained from forums or through Orkut. The residents and frequent visitors of CTC Hyderabad can give some information on the Prices of these products and not the MRP. The CTC is a very famous hub of the computer accessories and hardware one of the best markets in India. If some one asks about a best market in south for buying a good PC, surely give them some info about the CTC Hyderabad.

World and Car Graphic Preferences and Properties in NFS Undercover
Need For Speed Undercover might have some complex programming logic which might be making it little laggy even in PCs with very good configuration. There is a need for a new patch which may take care of some logics and bugs. A freely downloadable patch for NFSU would make it much interesting to play. The Patch Download for NFS Undercover can be expected very soon as there are talks on current works on Patch building for NFSU.
Atleast for now, it is very much necessary to understand the settings which could help in improving the performance of the game NFSU.
NFS Undercover has the good level of each option relating the Graphics of the Game which effect the normal performance of the game very greatly.
The Car detail should be least concerned in the game NFSU. The world is the factor is the one which should be concerned about. The player while playing the game, always looks at the edges of the roads, the far buildings and the items beside the road. The player rarely tends to look at the car he is driving. It is just a piece of the screen hanging in the center. In the game, hardly there comes a situation where the player needs to look at his car.
Also, the higher car detail does not make it realistic, rather it will look much like a toy piece which is intended to be fixed to the screen and the rest of the world is moving. I mean higher car detail makes it more unrealistic than the low car detail option.
As far as the World Detail is concerned in NFSU, it is better to have it at normal levels or it can be higher too. The world detail appears to take lesser Graphic processing than the car detail. Better to raise the World Detail. World Detail is the key for the appearance.
Coming to the Shadow option. Shadow helps in making the look realistic as normal. But surely the shadows option will take a good amount of Graphic Processing Capabilities.
All these options in NFS Undercover can show the best only if the resolution is set at a very good level. Like 1024x768 which can be good enough for a 15 inch Monitor.
A 1GB nVIDIA 8500GT Graphic Card appears to be helpless with a normal PC with debatable Processor Configuration. So, the game NFSU not only needs a good Graphics Processor, but there is more to do for the processor about the game logic in Undercover version.

NFS Undercover Crash Problems and Lag in the game
NFS Udercover users report problems like frequent crashes and lag. Many users are reporting the some error in forums too. Some experienced the crash problems after re-installation. The NFSU crashes when it starts to load the video, when it is re-installed. This might be related to the saved profiles of NFSU, since this is the time when the saved profiles in the My Documents are to be loaded. The saved profile may appear corrupted to the new installation of NFSU when it tries to load the profiles. The game may face the problem with the previous saved profile. Or this may not affect the game, there should be some other problem.
Also, the game NFSU appears to be programmed with too complex logic or something like that. This conclusion is drawn because, even the PC which are full-filled the minimum requirements of the game NFSU appear to be lagging while in the game. Also, the PC with much better configuration are also facing the same problem of lag in the game. Not only this, but the game runs quite normally for sometime and suddenly sticks to a particular position at a particular area in the map to load the environment and world around, then the game resumes normally. Some thing like a Page Fault occurs. This type of problem can be associated with any of the components of the PC like RAM, Processor, GPU, Hard Disk too.
The lag in the game appears to be least concerned with the settings of the game, especially the Graphic Options. The game shows almost same lag when the game is set to least graphic details and highest graphic details.
Some of the reports also say, that all the cars are not unlocked even after the completion of 100% profile. This may be due to the reason that the game also has some cars to be unlocked after giving the cheat codes. Like some of the cars showing in the cars folder are spare for the cheats of NFSU.

ATI with Intel and nVIDIA with AMD, Collaboration
AMD is well known for its gaming processing capabilities. And nVIDIA is known for its performance stability and properties. How would it be if AMD and nVIDIA have a collaboration. The same thing with ATI and Intel. So, let me know what you think about it.
AMD64 with nVIDIA GeForce 8500GT 1GB by Zebronics
AMD64 processor costs around Rs.4000/- in CTC, Hyderabad, India. The nVIDIA GeForce 8500GT 1GB by Zebronics can bet bought at Rs.35000/- at CTC, Hyderabad, India. The Combination of both works well.
I am using AMD64 3000+ and nVIDIA GeForce 8500GT 1GB by Zebronics but even then I feel like the graphics can still do better. I played Fifa 09 at the resolution 1024x768x32, the videos appear to be loading slower observable if seen specifically. The main point here is that I am using 1GB of RAM. I am not able to decide whether the problem is with 1GB RAM or the Zebronics assembly. I doubted that the nVIDIA Graphic card assembled bu nVIDIA itself would do better than this a t the same configuration of the PC.
I have used all the hardware in 32 bit software and also doubt 64 bit software could do much better than 32 bit.
