My computer has 1.3 GHz and the game I want to put on, Age of Empires 3, requires 1.4 GHz. My computer told me that I had to uninstall it, and I did.

    well your computer would run super slow.. and also you couldn’t install much more stuff..

    It will run slow but playable. If the difference was 1Ghz then it would be a challenge!

    The Graphics on Aoe 3 is pretty hight and you cpu is a older model. So i think its the Graphics rather then the Cpu.

    It will probably work alright if you have the video setting REAL low while you’re playing it. It won’t break your computer or anything, it’ll just have a low frame rate while you’re playing, it’s up to you to decide whether it’s playable or not.
