to play a game like call of duty 2 on my computer and i have celeron d and minimum require is pentuim2?

Question

what do i need to do with my computer to be able to play this game and others? thank you so much for your help!

my computer is a dell, if that might help with any advice!! thanks

Answer 1

I beleive a Celeron D is way more advanced than a Pentium 2

A Cel-D is a Prescott Core Pentium 4 family CPU,,first released in Mid '04

A pentium 2 is from mid 1997
The fastest /last ones were 450Mhz CPU's in '98

Pentium 3's were introduced in early '99

...........................................
Edit,,
I looked up Minimum Specs for COD2,,,,

It sez a 1.4Ghz P4.

A Celeron D is not world's greatest gaming CPU,,,
But it IS "same core" as a Pentium 4.

The Slowest Celeron D is 2.1 Mhz,,,,,50%faster than COD's minimum of 1.4

RAM,,,they say 256 "will run",,but recommend 512mb

VidCard,,,it IS a Direct X 9 game.

I dont have any idea what model DELL PC you have,,
so it's impossible to know what graphics system is in it.

I would GUESS that by the time Dell was installing Celeron D's,,,any graphics they'd use would be Dx9


Interesting to note that while they claim a minimum of Direct X 9 Grahics Cards,,,,
They LIST compatibility with several older DirectX 8 cards

radeon 8500,9000,,and old GeForce 3's & 4's

You Should be able to play it with any average Celeron D PC,,,

If you don't have at least 512mb Ram,,it's gonna be quirky & sluggish though

Answer 2

You need a video card nvidia or ati compatible. newegg.com has the best deals I've seen, but you can pick up a card at office depot, staples, circuit city, compusa, bestbuy, or any such store. Your processor isn't going to be very fast, adding some RAM might help a little.

Answer 3

you should still be able to play but might be very slow. You can upgrade your motherboard and cpu. Or just buy a new computer hehe.

Answer 4

get alot of mem and a big vid card
