Can you run it gives me odd answer for my cpu

[bravo95]

Just a silly quick question. I'm going to test a game that i know i can run on all high quick and these are my results...

Call of duty moderen war fare 2.

PASS


CPU
Minimum: Intel Pentium 4 3.2 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor or better supported
You Have: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz ASS


CPU Speed
Minimum: Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz or AMD Athlon 64 3200+ processor or better supported
You Have: 3.00 GHz Performance Rated at: 5.4 GHz ASS
=================================================================

It's the cpu speed i don't understand really. What does it mean.

this link says min is 3.0GHz so you'll obv pass it, maybe the one you used was recommended spec?
*Edit although following the link through, it does say 3.2GHZ, Im confused now as well lol*

Either way, looks like youll be fine

I think they're trying to convert your Core2Duo's performance to the clock speed of a P4 the game recommends. It tells me my Athlon II X4 @ 3.5Ghz is rated at 7.2Ghz.

Lol, ofc, brainfail lol dualcore 3GHz over a singlecore hehe 3.2Ghz
Shoulda seen that haha, need sleep

Thanks i just thought it was really weird...

yeah me too my old hp notebook is C2D 2.0 and they written rated at : 3.83 GHZ
they must have collected the cpu cores speed like this
2.0 + 2.0 = the final speed is 4.0 GHZ but the other 2 ghz is used to run the system as i get it
any way good luck
cheers

I dont know if that makes sense.
My Xeon 3.2 comes out at 4.6 and my system is a dual smp rig with dual xeons hyperthreading so does that mean if Activision doesnt take multiprocessing into account with their system that
I have the equilavent of dual 4.6's?
I don't think so.
Also have to take into account that both CPUs share a 533FSB.
I actually match up to lower Core2Duo's with a 3DMark03 of about 9600 on average.
