Computer Question

Ok, we have this computer;

The processor speed is 2.1 ghz, a dual core processor. I want to get Guitar hero 3, but it requires a speed of 2.8 ghz.

Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock with Guitar Controller - Windows

I thought I read somewhere that the whole dual core thing doubled the speed?

If that's not the case, is there any way that I can increase the processors speed? Thanks.

I know you can over clock processors but heat is the problem after that. And even with doing that. I dont think you get much from it.

I believe I was told that the whole dual core thing works as a team. Running different programs and whatever. One handles one large program while the other works on whatever else. Allowing the PC to run smoother and faster.

Just go buy a video game system.

Mom said no. lol

It will work. 2.8ghz is the recommended. Minumum is like 1.8ghz to play. 2 gig of ram is plenty.

Cool. Thanks.
