Is Processor Speed A Factor in Gaming?

Question

I currently have 1gb of ram and am getting a 7600/7900 GeForce series for Warhammer Online

But the only thing my comp specs dont fill is the 2.5ghz processor

I have a 2.0ghz

will it be a huge difference and result in bad gameplay? Or is it still playable?

~Thanks

Answer 1

2.5 GHZ is fine you need to add one more GB of RAM

Answer 2

The combination of your RAM and CPU will make a difference yes. With said GPU I would try to increase my RAM first, which will more than likely show a decent improvement, but CPU will definitely  have an effect in the long run.
