Best CPU for DF?
Llamageddon:
This is a bit hypothetical, I have an i5-4690K (3.5 GHz) so I assume there is not much to be gained by a new CPU, but I am curious, as given the price of graphics cards at the moment I am getting into a lot of CPU intensive games like DF.
What would be the best CPU on the market for DF if money is no concern?
What would be the best upgrade from mine if on a budget?
And I suppose for others reading this, is there an even better budget option lower than my i5?
Are there any specifics to keep in mind for a game like DF? Would things like faster ram, SDD etc make a bigger difference?
As I say, kind of hypothetical, but any insight into how DF makes use of these resources and processes things would also be quite interesting to me.

Ah, thanks. I searched the forums but I get so many results that are completely unrelated I can never find anything I am looking for.
How did you find those posts so easily? Are there search parameters I don't know about?

I only found them because I knew they existed. Had to try a couple different terms.

Best is probably 8086, but if you can't get it, 486 will do in a pinch.
