Um.. Ok. My new computer is really great and all, but it only has 2.13GHZ.
What should I do?

That's not necessarily a bad thing.
Is it dual core? I assume your talking about CPU's?, like Masques said it doenst mean its a bad thing, you could overclock it if it bothers u though

u wont be able to play bf2 on that
Clock speed is a not a universal thing and does not equate across all processor architectures. Any of the new gen of processors at 2.13GHz will be more than adequate for play.

If it's 2.13GHz Single Core, that's not to bad, but you can update it. It will run BF2, no worries, my 1.5GHz did
If it's dual-core, then you will be flying!

Ken Jennings loves teh GHz
What type of processor is it? Will your mobo support any other chips? Maybe you could just upgrade the chip

Sober enough to know what I'm doing, drunk enough to really enjoy doing it
Thanks man!
This is what I have: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp … 3577735222
Oh, and the gfx card is 7600.

Yes, it's a dual core. That 2.13 is obsolete. To tell you the truth, it's faster than a 3.7GHz computer.
Mine is only 1.86, but it is super fast since it's dual core.
I don't know, but can you just multiply your GHz by two to get the real speed?
Eg. 2.13x2= 4.26GHz?

I'm pretty sure Ryan mis-used obsolete, your processor is mid-high end.
You can NOT multiply the speed of your cores, that is not why the processor runs faster on games like BF2, because BF2 can only utilize one of the processors anyways.
Think of it like a highway. Sure the speed of the cars matter, but so do things like on/off ramps, and how many lanes of traffic it can handle.

I play just fine on a 2 GHz Athlon 64. Because I have 2 gigs RAM, and a 512 MB 7600 GT.
Thanks. What about Armed Assault?
sure you can
Intel C2D E6600 woah. Your CPU is really good. 1,5x-2x faster than my athlon 64 3500+
edit: and easily overclockable to 3GHz with stock cooler

With todays processors overclocking is rarely a good idea. You might squeeze out a small percentage of an increase in processor speed, but youre drastically decreasing your MTBF (mean time before failure) due to timing mismatching.

I couldn't disagree more if you got a core 2 duo. over 50% performace inrease with <200$ cpu is easy and you save about 700$ not buying the x6800devildogfo wrote:

Hey, just one question: gfx cards have coolers or heatsinks already in them, right?
all graphics cards have some kind of cooler in them. heatsink or combination of fan+heatsink. btw the link to the cpu, do you have that pc or was it just example because the craphics card in it is 8600gt

If you have an E6600, it should be 2.4GHz not 2.13GHz.
I am on a stock E6400 at 2.13GHz and it is blazing fast! Whoever said that crap about overclocking is wrong. You can almost DOUBLE your speed of an E4300 (1.86GHz) with some good RAM.

I had a P4 once running at 4.5+, it wasn't as fast as my 6800 at stock speeds (2.93)..lolRyan wrote:

back in the v1.2 days, I was able to play on my 800 MHz Athlon with 1Gig RAM. It's all about system optimization baby! Albeit, not very well and with all settings on low.
wow. Impressive OC. What did you use to cool it?Kmarion wrote:

once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.
