Processing Power

[Agmen of Eladesor]

As utrack mentions - something older, like Freelancer, is only going to use one core anyway. But the nice thing about old apps is that even running at 1.5 GHz, that single core is still probably faster than the app was originally designed to run on in the first place. (That reminds me of an old game I used to have - it was designed for a 20 MHz system. (Yeah, I've been at this for a while.) It was basically unplayable when, just for fun, I loaded it onto a newer computer that was running at 1 GHz.)

And newer apps will utilize all the cores. This old laptop I'm using right now is a dual core 1.6 GHz system - it handles Freelancer with FRAPS running just fine, I average 40 FPS in game, and the only issue I have is lag, which is simply due to me being in the US.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
