In all honesty you can't even BEGIN to PRETEND you'll be able to play it well with less than 2 GHz.

In my opinion.

There is something wrong in your configuration it's not a 991mhz but 2.2 ghz !

Try to upgrade your motherboard bios.

If you can bring that puppy up to proper speed you should have no difficulty running AH at all.

EDIT: Depending on your video card, I mean

[ScorpCH]

i have a navidea geforce 6150.

how do i upgrade the motherboard bio's?

is there anyway to increase the speed from 991mhz to 2ghz?

thanks for replying so quick

Check your CPU clock settings/multipliers  and post them there

[ScorpCH]

where do i do that, just the time settign at the bottom right hand corner?

[Krusty]

Do you have any friends that are really good with computers?

[ScorpCH]

ummm..... you guys? >.<

[Krusty]

I mean somebody that can actually sit at your PC? Any friends from work or school that seem fairly computer savvy?

EDIT: I ask because you need to get into the BIOS, and... well... you've got the capacity to really screw things up in there, if you have absolutely no idea what you're doing.

[ScorpCH]

well i am in the navy so ill just try and ask around, i tried to play warbirds, but i just didnt like it that much, game play is totaly different.

guess time will tell

Can you double check your processor speed by opening your Control Panel and double clicking on "System"?  Does it say there that your processor is running at 991 MHz?

[ScorpCH]

yes thats what it says when i click on system, in fact, thats the same place i went to to get the number for the processor speed.

my fiance was showing me some of the options and computers dell has to offer.  after about 15-20 mins of looking for a computer with 2ghz processor speed we found this one and i was wondering if some of you computer wizzes would be able to give me a yay or nay on this laptop as to whether or not it would be able to support AH2.

I would appreciate your imput and knowledge. That way I don't buy a compter that will not support the game.

Avoid laptops for gaming. The majority of them have REALLY poor video cards, and even the more expensive ones only have a decent video card. None of them have good vid cards.

Much better, hardware-wise, to game on a desktop computer. I'm not saying it can't be done, but you run into many more problems on a laptop.
