AMD Athlon Or Celeron(R)?

[edsuhthenewbie]

I have a low specs Computer, and i want to play Resident Evil 4. For this, i researched for the requirements to run at my PC, and I discovered that it is minimally necessary an AMD Athlon to run the game, there arose the doubt, because my pc has a Celeron (R) of 2.27 GHz.

What is the best, AMD Athlon 1 GHz, OR a Celeron(R) 2.27GHz?

Athlon 1 GZ!? Which one would that be? The Celeron would be better. But what about the rest of the system?

The min requirements of RE 4 include a Pentium III or an Athlon running at 1ghz or greater. The GPU requirements are obviously pretty minimal by today's standards. It's a win2k/XP game. As long as it installs then you can *probably* play it but I can't guarantee anything.

I doubt you'll have any issues running the game as long as your pc was made within the last 15 years.

My Pc specifications:

Celeron(R) 2.27 GHz
1.18 GB RAM memory
64mb UniChrome Pro IGP

It's up to if you consider this playable.

The 64mb frame buffer on the IGP might be a problem. Try to increase that if you can (option to change it is usually found in the BIOS). It might dynamically increase automatically, I'm not sure because I'm not familiar with those IGPs.

You can't increase something physical through BIOS.

Thanks for all, I'm downloading the game. I'll see how my pc will run this. :/

This iGPU uses the system RAM for vRAM, it doesn't have its own dedicated RAM soldered on the motherboard. He should try to increase the size of the vRAM buffer if he can in the BIOS. It may be set to not accept more than 64MB though.

@ edsuhthenewbie: Your PC is rather old. Probably built around 2004. The CPU is based on the Pentium 4 technology, which isn't that great. Ideally you should start looking into ways to get a newer PC, or perhaps a used PC. You might try a used office PC. I see those sell for under $100, and it would be a significant improvement over what you have now. I know that's not exactly what you are looking for, and you may be able to run Resident Evil 4 OK with the settings turned down on that PC, but you should still start thinking about getting something newer. That PC you have now won't last forever.
