System Requirements - samerz816 - 15-05-2009 05:52 AM
Okay ladies and gents. I need help!
I have Vista, meaning I need a 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent.
However, I have an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00GHz.
I have heard from a few people that because Duo Processors are more powerful than P4 processors, I should still be good even though I am technically .4 GHz short.
Is this true?
HELP HELP HELP! I ALREADY PRE-ORDERED THE GAME AND I'LL DIE IF I CAN'T RUN IT!

You'll be fine. Like you said, the Core 2 Duo processor is much better than the P4, so the extra .4 GHz doesn't matter.
Happy Simming

i have the same processor . its true what they say! just go to http://www.systemrequirementslab.com and see its not that reliable but at least itll give u an idea on how well ur computer can run the game

@ Linnyxx17
What do you mean, "It's true what they say?" Do you mean it's true that the duo processor is more advanced and therefore the game will run on my computer? Or do you mean it's true that my computer does not meet the requirements?

LOL sorry i meant its true that the duo processor is more advanced.. its like two processors running at the same time. the systemrequirementslab.com says my CPU speed is..
CPU Speed
Minimum: (XP) 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent; (Vista) 2.4 GHz P4 processor or equivalent [If built-in graphics chipsets then 2.6 GHz Pentium D CPU, or 1.8 GHz Core 2 Duo, or equivalent.]
You Have: 2.00 GHz Performance Rated at 5.09 GHz
all 6bars are green so u have no worry about ur processor not running the game. its double then the 2.4GHz P4. {clap}
also my friend sells computers and he said my processor is fine so again no worries for the both of us!
