Processor Issue

[R7Raul]

Hi.

I've already posted this in the "Fifa 10" home forum, but this seemed like a more appropriate place to ask for this. I have a Laptop with an Intel Core i3 M330 @ 2,13Ghz processor. Does someone know if it's good enough for Fifa 10? 'Cause I've played the game in an "inferior" machine and with lower graphics it worked just fine, but in my computer it tends to freeze every 30 seconds or so. And not only in-game but also in the menus. Thanks for your help.

EDIT: Nevermind, I already realized that every Windows 7 Pro 64Bit has this issue. Has anyone fixed this?

these r d minimum requirements:
CPU: 2.4 GHz single-core
RAM: 512 MiByte (XP) or 1 GiByte (Vista)
Graphics card: Geforce 6600 or better, Ati Radeon 9800 Pro or better, Support for Shader Model 2.0 or better, DirectX 9.0c
VRAM: 128 MiByte
Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound device
Input: Keyboard or Dual Analog Gamepad
HDD: 4.4 GB or more, free disc space.......r all ur sys configurations matchin wid these?

My laptop surpasses the minimum an recomended requirements. The game actually plays quite smoothly with high graphics but the problem is the lag I experiment. Dweling across the internet I found out that every Windows 7 Professional has this issue, but I couldn't find a solution.

try setting the affinity to the 2nd core.
or running it in xp sp2 compatibility mode.

thanks again for the help, regularcat. I know how to change the compatibility mode, but how do I set the afinity to the second core?

open the game & alt+tab out & open the task manager & go to the processes
& find fifa10.exe & right click on it & you will see the set affinity option.

well compatibility doesn't work and makes the game crash. will try the affiinity and let you know how it goes. thanks a lot!

 

[R7Raul]

well, it doesn't make the problem go away but if I set the affinity for all 4 cores it runs much smoother. Does this put my pc in any kind of danger?

no.
