i3s are quad

i3s are the newer series of i5, but slightly slower infact (standard rates)
Who cares? For the best experience you gotta aim for atleast 4.0 Ghz each quad!!!

I think you'll find mate that i3's are dual core with 4 threads rather than quad core with 8 threads like the i5/i7

Still.. if it runs what you run ok, who cares
EDIT.. no, I've got that wrong. Looking at 2nd gen i5 specs, some are dual core with 4 threads and others are quad core with 4 threads. Why are things so complicated these days

Hi,
Don't forget that although windowed mode gives more FPS you will lose some of the quality that full screen mode gives.
