Trying to play game, it required 1.8 ghz and my comp has .8 ghz, how do i get more ghz for CPU?

Answer 1

You can buy a new CPU, but it must use the same socket type.

If the game has 3D graphics, you can also try to purchase a faster graphic card compatible with your video slot.

Answer 2

You wouldn't be able to over-clock your PC by 1Ghz. The only other avenue you have is a hardware upgrade. If you have a custom built PC you could upgrade the mobo, CPU and RAM and keep your hard disk and CD/DVD drives. Otherwise you would have to buy a new system. Keep in mind certain specs though when looking to upgrade: CPU speed should be no less than 3-GHz, since this will provide room to grow. Go Hyperthread or at best Dual-Core. For your video card get one with at least 256MB of DDR (preferred is 512MB or better). You won't be sorry.

Answer 3

Without upgrading, you could overclock your processor. The danger to overclocking is possibly overheating your CPU, which can cause a meltdown.

I just don't think you'll be able to play a game that requires a full Ghz more than you have, and if you can, it will be very....very........slow.

Answer 4

Replace the processor and system board - which for a PC that old would probably cost more than a new bottom Dell desktop that would be more than powerful enough to play the game. So practical answer is buy a new PC.

Answer 5

You'll need a whole new computer ! A 1.8 Ghz CPU won't work on your motherboard. You can only pump it up so far. Sorry.

Answer 6

Buy a new prossecor and maybe update some other parts of your computer while you're at the store, more memory things like that, they make the game go a lot faster, and look better.

Answer 7

You need a processor upgrade. Considering you only have an 800mHz machine, the most cost effective option is to simply buy a new computer.

Answer 8

Buy a new 1.8Ghz !
