give high priority to video card and memory rather than cpu

Wait. How can the required CPU be 3Ghz and the recommended 2.4Ghz. It is the other way around, right?

Member Avatar for P0110X

because the 3ghz is single core and the 2.4 says dual core, which is really faster than 3ghz single core.

Ah. Forgot to do my research. Hey while we are on the subjects of processors, about what total speed do I get with a 2.2 Ghz Quad-core?
