I'm getting ready to purchase a new computer, and I have a basic question.

If i got a AMD64 3000 chip it's only clocked at 2.0 ghz. With games like battlefield 2 already requiring a min of 1.7 ghz won't this chip be outdated extremely fast or does the 3000 mean it will run games up until the minimum is actually 3.0 ghz?

Like an AMD 1700 would run battlefield or no?

Is that clear?
Thanks
 
sorry, but the processor isn't the thing that needs a lot to run BF2. You need a lot of RAM, and you need a good graphics card. An Athlon 64 3000+ will run BF2 JUST FINE! Guarunteed.

It almost seems that software vendors are in league with Intel with the way all programs have MHz requirements on them.

At least a few of them say "xxxMHz or equivelant" though.
 
I went to best buy and saw one video game recently that had a brain... I can't remember what game it was, but it said.... Pentium 4 1.5ghz processor or Athlon 1500. I was like, WHOA! look at that!
