Will CoD really utilize those extra two cores? Is not 3.00GHZ better than 2.6GHZ?

I'm in a similar situation with E8200 dual core (2.66GHz). I think the fact that they have listed quad cores under the recommended listing looks like it will be beneficial to have the extra cores.

Not so clear on this one. In most cases i don't think it will make a substantial difference
