    Hi all,

    I currently play Guild Wars with no problems at all, and wanted to get into City of Villains. Went to www.srtest.com, great site to compare game specs to your computer specs, and tells you what's missing. Anyway, I ran it for CoV and got the following:

    Obviously, it's wrong somehow cause I have 1.6GHz Pentium M. I did the same for GW just to test and got the same bogus result of 600MHz.

    Went here to test:

    http://cpuinfo.visualware.com/

    and got it around 1593MHz as expected.

    What gives? Any ideas what the deal is here? Thanks.

    RM

    The reason you failed the CPU test is because you might have been doing something eating clock speed before. That video card should run it...it was for recommended specs that you didn't make it.
