Okay here's the thing, I have some spare computer parts from my old PC minus the HDD and PSU, and my younger sister likes light gaming and likes to play some MMO on her laptop but wants to play FFXIV so I'm thinking of putting together a PC for her with some parts I had from 2 previous's PC's and upgrades but I had some questions:
So far I have the following pieces:
4GB RAM 800Mhz dual channel
Intel Core 2 Duo E4440 2.0Ghz
ATI HD 4850 512MB
Asrock G31M-VS2 motherboard ( http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?model=g31m-vs2 )
Cooler Master RR-B10-212P-G1 Hyper 212 Plus (cooler)
Windows XP (since the game doesn't support Direct X10 only 9 at release)
So ive been wondering is it posible to push the processor to 3.0 Ghz at least? since ive been reading the min requierements of the game is 2.0 Ghz but I would like it for her to run decently at least on medium settings since the game looks so good even on medium, since my first thoughts from start are that the video card will be on bottleneck, what do you guys think? is it posible to push it to 3.0ghz?
