1 gig vs 1.33 gig for gaming?

introibo · 03-23-2007, 07:25 PM

If a game (Battle for Middle Earth, for example) calls for a 1.33 ghz processor, will it play on a 1 ghz processor (albeit slowly?)

it probably wont be that much worse. is there any way you can oc your processor to 1.3ghz?

It should play just fine.

Is that the minimum requirements? Because if it is, that means you can install it and start the game up. Not necessarily have a fun time playing it.

Depends what type of processor it is. If it's a Pentium III 1Ghz, then it should run fine. But if it's a 1Ghz Celeron, then it may not be the best idea.

And it also depends on how much RAM you have, and what type of video card you have.
