Gaming Dual CPU for games

[stylow]

I bought the game Call of duty WAW for my pc first i did read the system requirements

OS: Windows XP/Vista
Processor: Pentium 4 @ 3 GHz / AMD 64 3200+
Memory: 512 Mb
Hard Drive: 8 Gb free
Video Memory: 256 Mb
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 6600 / ATI Radeon X1600
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
DirectX: 9.0c
Keyboard
Mouse
DVD Rom Drive

And here is a pic of mine cpu things
Call of duty is running very slow with the lowest settings although it matched up with the requirements
Is there a way to use the dual cpu

have you tried installing it and seeing if it's gonna work . . . ?
that's probably the best way to know if it'll work or not . . .

What video card do you have?

@ Above:
What's quoted are the system requirements for WaW. The attached image is his CPU. He said he tested it and it ran "very slow".

Those seem like the minimum requirements.

edit: ^^^^^^^^^ before he edited his post it said nothing about the fact he had tested it.

I did install it but it is running very slow when i play zombie mode or missions with even with the lowest settings

Sorry but i dont know which i have how do you check it

I'm going to guess you have a laptop, so it's probably integrated and just isn't powerful enough to run the game at a decent framerate. You could try turning the resolution on the game all the way down if you haven't already, but it still wouldn't be playable.

Go the the Start menu and you'll see a search bar. Type in "dxdiag".

In the window that pops up, click the "Display" tab.

That's your problem.

As Law mentioned, you have an Integrated graphics card which tend to suck (hard) at gaming.

Thx guys i am going to buy another video card then

Your graphics is insufficient to play the game, but also your dual core CPU isn't really fast enough either. Your laptop wasn't meant to play games.

 

[Berthenk]

Buying a graphics card for your laptop won't do you any good, you're better off buying a completely new laptop or computer, preferable one that has a dedicated graphics chip.

Edit: 999...

It's not always that simple with laptops. Most of them will only let you go so far as to upgrade RAM, and as it doesn't have a dedicated card already the chances are there won't be any room.

Of course some laptops do allow you to put a graphics card in, but at a guess going by your processor speeds, yours isn't one that was really meant for that.


edit: Buy an actual desktop computer if you want to play games on it.

yeowch. you do NOT want to play games on an integrated GPU.

if you want to play games with your computer, you'll have to get a dedicated graphics card (though I'd suggest just getting a new computer if you can afford it).

When I read the thread title, I thought it might be referring to computers that have 2 CPUs. Kinda disappointing to find out it's just a low end dual-core CPU.

Only the last couple generations of integrated Intel graphics are really capable of playing games. Everything else (read as, everything that doesn't have HD in the name) should not be used for anything more intensive than watching videos. They were never designed to play games.
