    Ok my laptop will have a Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T5450 (1.66GHz)
    2MB L2 Cache but some games requir a higher speed. For example HAlo 2 needs 2 GHz since my processor is a duo will it run halo 2 even though its speed is 1.66 Ghz? :confused:

    2GHz of Pentium 4?? If so.. your laptop will definitely pass the cpu test. By the way, wat graphics card do you have. That is more important than the cpu when you want to game.

    Just a reminder C2D>>P4

    It will work well for SOME games, such as Halo 2. For a game like Supreme Commander, you might be hurting, but not Halo 2.

    Game boxes list requirements in terms of Pentium 4's. All Core 2 Duos are faster than the fastest Pentium 4, so you can be assured your processor fits the minimum spec for almost all games.
