Doubt about cpu.

[maxdesolate]

hi guys. after asking about it yesterday in the forum here and deciding to go for a new graphic card (AMD Radeon HD 7750, am on a budget here) for my pc, i am wondering if my processor will run crysis 3 on low to medium settings. my pc meets all the optimal requirements to run it except one which i am in doubt of. my processor , which is intel core 2 duo e4700 @ 2.60. so please help again. here are the specs -

intel core 2 duo E4700 @2.6 ghz
4gb RAM (will be adding 2 gb,have 2 gb already)
AMD Radeon HD 7750 900MHz edition ( will be buying soon)
win 7 ultimate x86

Maybe on low, I was able to run Crysis 2 on a similar setup when it came out on high settings. Even on low it still looks good.

make sure you buy the same ram that you already have in. dont mix and match as it will make your system unstable at the least and kill the mmu/ram and may even damage the cpu if the timings are to far out.

you will need a minimum core 2 quad q6600 if you want to make your pc a entry level system. you can pick up a q8300 which is as good for around 80 on fleebay.
the gfx card barley passes muster so if you can save a little more you will get so much more for the money... there really is a step change 1s you get up to the 7870 or better the yes its x2 the price but its more than x2 the performance.

well, i want to be SURE. otherwise , i wouldnt invest in the graphics card in the first place coz that would mean upgrading the whole system,which i cant afford to right now. as far as playing it on low settings, i am fine with that.

so you are saying the core 2 duo e4700 wont be able to run it? also, right now i have 2 slots of 1 gd ram each. its DDR2 PC2-6400, DDR2 (non-ECC). so i cant get a different number other than the 6400?
