Okay, I'm freaking out here.. I just read that the minimum processor for AoC is 3GHz... The one I already bought, and am waiting patiently to be delivered has a Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q6700 2.66GHz 8MB Cache 1066MHz FSB Did I just screw myself bigtime for buying that or what?? Obviously I don't know that much about the newer hardware |

Originally posted by VayleLOL, your fine. That processor gives you 2.66 X 4. I think you will actually only be using 2 of the cores since i dont think there is anything that uses all 4 yet (may be wrong on that) but that still gives you 5.32 GHZ. You should be fine for many years to come. Now, how about your video card, now that could be a problem. |

Dont worry if they say a 3GHz they mean a single core so yours will be perfect. |

Ya, i think its safe to say that you are fine computer wise. But methinks you paid a bit too much just to have Alienware written on the side. Not that i know what you spent on it. |

Thats how companies like alienware make their money by selling overpriced systems to people that know nothing about computers. Good thing for alienware there are so many lazy, technologically handicapped people out there with more money than sense. |

It is all vaporware until I see it go live! |
To the OP, you'll be fine, if not, this game would tank anyways due to HW req's being way too high. <modedit> |
