Is my P4 CPU bottleneck my HD4670 1GB?
This is my current spec:
Intel P4 550J HT 3.4Ghz
2.5GB RAM
500GB 7200RPM HDD
HIS Radeon HD4670 IceQ 1GB (Stock)
I've been playing C&C3 Tiberium War, Red Faction Guerrilla, Supreme Commander 2, Fallout 3 and some other older games, but there're only 2 game which is Red Faction and sometime Fallout 3 and C&C3 that is significantly decrease in frame rate,but the only problem is that Red Faction, which near unplayable when set the setting on medium. Occasionally on C&C3, it lag abit when use a superweapon on a middle of a large base with many troops in it.
So the question is is it cause by that P4? And what should I do to increase the frame rate without replace that CPU? I also look for software that can overclock that CPU but cant find any that support the older CPU like mine, If possible can anyone suggest one or few to me that fully support the P4 Series? Thanks

Its becuase of the P4 and the 4670. But sense the P4 is a 1 core, it slows down. So you would get a jump in frame rate if you upgraded to a Dual core with 2.0Ghz at the least.
You are never supposed to use software to overclock a CPU. You always use BIOS to overclock it, but if you bought your computer from the store then you cant.
you'd be better off with a dual core running at 2.0Ghz than a single core at 4ghz.

i do no longer think of you would be very pleased with homestead windows 7 on that pc. some months in the past, I put in the homestead windows 7 32 bit beta version on a working laptop or pc with a three.06 ghz pentium 4 with 2 GB of RAM. It did no longer paintings very properly. It replaced into sluggish and unresponsive. It could no longer even finished the homestead windows journey Index attempt. i don't be attentive to no count if it is any extra effective now, yet i do no longer think of it fairly is going to paintings very properly. (it worked great with an upgraded processor.) in case you do decide for it, the 32 bit is your superb wager. despite if, i could advise a important hardware improve.
