P4 1.8

[reggie_da_man]

Im trading my emachines 550mhz pIII soon for a P4 1.8ghz(just the cpu and mobo).My friend is upgrading and doesnt need it anymore, hes buying a barebone and keeping the rest of his stuff. Does anyone think that this cpu (400mhz fsb and 256k L2 cache) with a ATI 128 pro 32 meg video card will be able to run counter-strike? Im thinking of selling that motherboard that im getting from him cuz its a slotek or something cheap and buying a decent one so i can overclock, i wanna hit atleast 2.0-2.2GHz. is it worth buying a new mobo? and if it is what would u recommend (sry i dont pay that much attention to intel...need somea advice)

It should play CS alright yeah. It is way above the minimum requirements.

Unless you have tons of spyware and crap, then you can't run it. (me )

what are the minimum system requirements for cs anyway? i know half-life 2 is 1.2GHz and recommended is 2.4

run some scans clean out active X and download and use hijack this that should atleast do something, or if all else fails...REFOMAT!

I believe 400Mhz Pentium or equivalent, 32MB RAM, any graphics card really.

Half Life 2 is completely different. It's a much newer game.

i have a p-4 1.8ghz 256k lvl2 cache on a abit IS7-E2 mobo can be found for under 70 bucks. I have mine running at a steady 2.1ghz
any higher and it starts to get hot and i get random reboots. I have however gotten into bios at 2.8ghz but it wont boot to windows

it'l play counters strike 1.6 fine, i used to play with a celeron cpu, 128 of ram and the shittiest vcard possible, but like m3trj half life 2 is completely different

Half Life 1 (Counter-Strike) will run on that no problem.

I can probolly play it on calculators now...
