I have a Intel Core 2 Duo CPU Proccessor.?

Question

One is 1.66 GHZ and the other is 1.67 ghz. If I play a game that requires 2.5 ghz or so will I be able to play it?

Answer 1

if it requires a single core at 2.5 then u probably can play that game.  not sayin that it will run perfect.

Answer 2

Probably wont . COD 4 requires a 2.4 GHz P4 and a 1.8 Dual core. Thats only a 33% advantage for the dual.

Some say "you have a 3.32 cpu(2X1.66) but they need to study cpu architecture because thats not how it is. May want to try this. Hopefully the game is on the list:

Those little duals overclock really nice so you can try overclocking it a tad and see if it will pass then. I really suggest you forget about that game with that cpu thou. Too much game for it. Even if you can run it it wont be pretty.

Answer 3

The game will mention the type of cpu. If the 2.5 Ghz is referring to a single core, then your processor will certainly be able to run it.

You could always try to use low settings first.

Answer 4

yes you will, don't worry

Answer 5

You can try. (but first go to my computer> system properties then look at the full processor speed.

I know that some people will have the thought 1.66+1.67= 3.33ghz.

No! The addition of two cores speeds does not equal the full processor speed.  

Answer 6

First of all, both of your cores are the same speed, even though 0.01Ghz doesn't really mean anything.  Second, 1.66 < 2.5 so the short answer is no.  Just because you have a dual core doesn't mean your CPU runs at 3.32 (1.66+1.66).  You have 2 separate cores running at 1.66Ghz each.  i guess you could try it but even if it loads up the game will run VERY poorly to the point that its not even worth your time.
