@ majinos -> let's put it this way. on this site, (recommended) system requirements are put the same as the publisher of a game said. of course, most of the time it's a marketing trick so that people would buy new component(s) just to play a game. so, by constant feedback from users with various rigs, recommended system requirements are changing until we reach the most appropriate one for a specific game. bad company 2 is playable on max settings with a dual-core CPU but one would need to have a solid GPU to "do all the work" instead :)

This is messed up, my rig has all gold checks for all games, except mm proccessor (this 1) and IDK Y it says i cant run a game cause of it, IE it told me i couldnt run BFBC2 and i ran it maxed out -_-

I am AMD faithful, i unlock the four core but even with two cores the performance is good compared to the price ratio from Intel.

I unlock the four core and not at all difficult. I am very happy because it works great

I kinda like the competition thrown out by AMD to Intel. This processor is released, not only to match-up Core 2 Duos but also to compete against i3 processors. If someone is lucky enough, buying this may have himself a triple or quadcore processor (if he unlocked the disabled cores).

processor is much better, as presented here
