SO when I go on the "can you run it?" site,My cpu speed is this:2.40 GHz Performance Rated at 3.80 GHz.I do not understand at all what that means.ANd no,My computer isnt that great.I mean this load really fast and I never get lag oin any of the games I play,But I dont think some $800 computer from 2005 from best buy would have a 3.80GHZ CPU.My cpu Itself is a AMD 3800+,or something like that.

Your computer has an dual core so thats why the system requirements messi'n up.

(Your rating are adjusted to the rating of what a single core would have to be at for doing processes as fast as your dual core, so actually that don't say very much at all.)

You cant really tell anything with runnig that test, if you are concerned about you're computer not being up to date playing games i suggest you get demos instead, that will give you a much more accurate way of know than a bad flawed test.

You are running a single core. Dual cores are called Athlon X2's

Sure that CPU can run it.

yep, a good GFX would let you play it on your CPU but that card would be somewhat limmited by your singlecore.

And it all is of what your demands are, low/med/high/V.high?

A single core is not able to meet my demands of what I want out of that game.

Don't just go by clock speed. A 3.0ghz pentium 4 gets destroyed by a 1.8ghz core 2 duo.
