Transformers Requirements Question...

[Planeswalker]

Howdy guys...

I have a question for you. I'm interested in getting the War for Cybertron game next week for my PC. I thought I could run it, but just to be safe, I ran my machine through System Requirements Lab and it said I failed when it came to my processor.

"Required: Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo E4300 1.80 GHz or AMD Athlon(TM) 64 X2 Dual-Core 4000+ 2.0 GHz

You Have: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6400 @ 2.00GHz"

I'm confused...I thought my processor should be able to handle this game (after all, 2.0 > 1.8), but I must be missing something. Am I crazy? Should the game be able to work?

Here is a full post of the SRL check.

CPU's aren't all about frequency. There model number says a lot, the T6400 is a laptop CPU and even though it's frequency is high, it isn't as powerful as the one listed.

Bummer, didn't realize there was more to it than the frequency. Looks like this is a PS3 pickup then

Thanks.
