    I can't seem to find comparison charts between P4 and Duo Core CPU, so just wanted to ask the following:

    You know how games list the system requirements P4 3.0Ghz and such so I wasn't sure how fast the 1.6 Duo Core is.

    Will it be fast enough to play FEAR, Battel Field2 and such given other components such as 1G of RAM, 256Mb GeForce (7400) and 80G 5400 SATA?

    Thanks...

    Absolutely, any core duo can handle those games, they are just more GPU intensive.

    1.6 Core Duo is as fast as if not faster than a P4 3.0 Ghz. With your graphics card, you probably won't be able to turn up all the eye candy but you should be able to play comfortably with medium-low to medium settings.
