    Hello,

    As Andro hinted at, you cannot 'upgrade' a processor to a different clock rate (i.e. you can't change 1.8GHz to 2.0GHz) - technically you can overclock processors, but it is rather difficult to do and much more risky on a laptop. In order to have a better processor, you would need to buy a new computer.

    I noticed from your DxDiag that you have an integrated AMD graphics chip, as well as your AMD Radeon HD 6470M graphics chip. One thing you could perhaps try is to make sure the game is set to using the second, dedicated graphics chip - a guide for this can be found here (courtesy of crinrict's blog - follow the instructions under the Radeon section).

    Also, make sure you've turned your settings down to the lowest possible, as the HD 6470M is a weaker card.

    I hope this helps and keep simming,

    Cody

    that message above is a fixed one of the one with my Dxdiag, I fixed it because there first stood ''age''..... and it must be ''ago''

    that's great thank you for the DxDiag well notebooks really aren't geared for games some are some aren't the 1.8GHz is a little bit low for the game recommended is 2.0GHz -2.4GHz  but having said that others with a 1.8GHz can still play the game you could try just lowering some of the ingame settings usually too oif you change a game setting it's best once you make the change apply it then exit out of the game and relaunch for it to take effect

    and we;ll wait and see what other helpers think for input to your issue too

    Sorry, for late response, got distracted! By the way, I've put your dxdiag in spoilers - just makes it look pretty 😉

    I'm not too sure. To upgrade, you'd probably have to get a new one. Going to tag @CodySimstein
