How does processor affect gaming?
Let's assume we have 2 top of the line gaming rigs with insane gpu's, I mean exactly the same specs except one has a amd phenom x3 2.1ghz and the other a phenom 2 x4 3.2ghz
Is there a significant difference in performance?
Also gove me the same scenario except ddr2 ram vs. Ddr3.
5-10 fps is substantial to me.
and do you mean core i7 extreme? the $1,000 one?

no it doesnt even matter as long as cpu can supply the graphics card with enough information for instance you should never get i5-2500k quad core with a crappy card like gt220

On both case... the differences will be minor. Your frame rate should still never drop bellow acceptable levels in ether case... and shouldn't be more than 5-10 fps difference.
games just don't really tax cpu or ram any more. So long as you have enough ram and a stout video card you are good.
