    Default A curious question regarding CPU speed.

    Hey guys, I've just been on the Can You Run It website, and it says that I have my CPU speed is 2.1 GHz Performance rated at: 3.36 GHz. Can anybody tell me what that means?

    I can't. That website isn't particularly accurate and someone with a bit of knowledge can easy tell if something can or can't be run well on different hardware. I never touched that site.

    It means its time to get a new CPU. 2.1Ghz isn't going to cut it if you want to play the game with semi decent settings. What CPU do you have BTW?

    Your motherboard platform is old enough at this point that you'd be better off just upgrading your entire PC when you have the dough.
