Prostreet CPU requirement

jr.spikey SG

Hi all,
The requirement for NFS Prostreet is 2.8 GHz for the CPU. I wish to get a Pentium D dual-core with this clock speed and above to cut down on what I have to spend on a processor. If, however, I choose to use a Core 2 Duo without the clock speed, is it possible?

Core 2 is like x2 of the specs they stated.
Let's say my Core Duo has a spec of 1.7Ghz. Then in actual fact, since 2 cores are running, 1.7 x 2 = 3.4Ghz.

It doesn't work like that Laughing

To TS, just get one of those E4XXX series of processor, aka pentium successor if you are on budget, then ad 2GB worth of RAM and a decent GFX(7900 or 8800 series if you have the $$$).The game should run pretty smooth with details on high

Yeah. I heard it's more like 40% or something. Smile

My current laptop specs are as follows:

AMD Turion 64x2, 1.8GHz (each)
2.0GB of RAM
ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 HyperMemory

I just downloaded the demo and well, even on lowest settings, the framerate is very slow; jerky movement and cars uncontrollable.. but then again, I do have a sucky graphics card...

Looks like I'm heading to SITEX with a bulging wallet..

Good luck in getting your CPU!

ProStret ROX btw!

Haha okay thanks everyone. Does SITEX always sell cheaper? Or your usual ah beng shop at Sim Lim Square?

By the way, how do I check my mainboard for compatibility with processors?

if the game cannot be run in parallel-processors, then it is difficult. To be safe better get Exx series CPUs. Very Happy

Not really, they just throw in more freebies Laughing

Cheaper, no. More freebies, yes.
