You mean, uhh... rates? What rates?
And BTW, don't speak engrish. Because if you do, nobody will understand.

In short: No, we can't really help you. Other than trying to reduce lag via the normal channels, the types of computers Cortex runs nicely on are an enigma.

I belive you are assuming that megahertz == preformance.

THOR is trying to say that megahertz isn't the only mesure of CPU performance.

games don't just need more hz. you'll notice allot of System requirements will list 3 things:

1) Hz.
2) RAM

Those are the 2 things people read
3) who made the CPU.

I've seen games that say they require a pentium. That is, if it is a pentium, it needs to meet the Hz and RAM requirements. I've also seen games that recomend AMD, for the same Hz and RAM. If you do not have the type of chip it recommends, even meeting the other 2 minimum requirements will not ensure that you get the same quality. For instance, I met the requirements for Team fortress 2. Based on Hz, RAM, Virtual memory, and my video card, it suggested medium settings. Team fortress 2 on the LOWEST settings, will occasionally get all chopy, lag, and freeze. Why? Different type of chip(s).

They list Hertz and RAM because it's what people understand and readily know. in gaming, its assumed you already have a gaming machine. Pentium is not usually for gaming people, its made for processing. Most computers are not built for video games in mind, they are made to do single complex tasks quickly, while gaming instead requires a lot of simpler tasks.


On a CC specific note though, this last build i've been getting full speed on for *most* game-play. I used to only get 0.44. it's been throwing me off.

Just to throw it out there and blow people's minds, CC runs playably on an ancient 350mhz IBM PowerPC, with about 360 megs of ram.
"Playable" is not great though, it will only play vanilla things at a reliable speed.
I'd love for Data to spend the next build fixing up the engine for optimization, and/or proper gpu use.


I use that computer to alternately serve up media and warm my room.

is the laptop dual core or newer? also yeah, people have found that CC just dislikes certain computers for no apparent reason. Does the laptop get higher performance on anything else though? cause as thor said, there might be something on the AMD box that's slowing it down.
Yeah, true. Nerds know stuff, geeks are just losers.

Yeah, I've heard that CPU 'architecture' matters as well.
