Can You Run it?

[stealth_nsk]

I dont know how to open the "BIOS" folder

Turn off and on your computer and right after start press the bios button (usually it's Del, but some computers work with F8). You'll be there.

bios is usually f2 or f8

Another option for the Mac people is parralleles. I know it didn't work well for cIV for a while, but the new versions are better and they might work for ciV.

Yeah, this Can You Run It? is dumb. I got a Core 2 Duo 2.53 and it say my processer fails. I think they just want us to click the link to buy stuff.

It's not very accurate in that it pretty much just checks your system against system requirements.

I also have a core 2 duo 2.5 and it said I failed.

 

[Tylerryan79]

you failed minimum? or recommended?

It said my cpu failed the minimum, and an all around fail on recommended.

I have the same type of error for Minimum Requirement

CPU Speed
Minimum: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 64 2.0 GHz
You Have: 2.66 GHz (Failed)

But My CPU is a Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 GHZ. It seem a bug with can u run it that see the correct speed of CPU, but don't see core 2 duo type.

I'm totally confused at why it's saying I'm failing (which is scary because it's a brand new computer).

CPU
Minimum: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 64 2.0 GHz
You Have: AMD Athlon(tm) II P320 Dual-Core Processor

CPU Speed
CPU Speed
Minimum: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz or AMD Athlon X2 64 2.0 GHz
You Have: 2.09 GHz

At least with the CPU Speed, it looks like I'm above (although not by much). Can anyone interpret my numbers and tell me if I'm SOL?

 

[Tarkhan]

Wow, yeah, thats my old CPU. I will do the Can you run it on my parents machine (I installed the CPU in it) and see if I get the same thing.

My speed is 1.8 Ghz, just enough for minimum requirements. Meanwhile, the site thinks I'm only at 1.79Ghz.

Also, how does 8400M GT (what I have for a video card) compare to all those video cards listed for the minimum requirements?
