Just an fyi guys, it is my experience from both first hand and online research that this game is only fully capable of using 2 cores of a cpu anyways, therefore clock speed has a much greater impact than the number of cores. You quad core users out there try it out, run swtor and look at your cpu usage, in my experience you have 2 cores running hard and the rest doing very little. Let me know if you have different results, I am interested to know how its working out for everyone.
