How does the techdemo compare to the full version of BeamNG?

The Core2Dou is 2 core vs celerons 1 core so it will give you twice as much processing power. That's the same upgrade Ive done. You can get a faster one around 2.8-3.0 Ghz for $35-40. Like I said, for OEM PCs of this type, only certain CPU model numbers will work, even if they are inferior. It shouldn't hurt to install it and check, as long as the socket type is identical.

I just saw that your using a laptop, so there will be limited options. As far as graphics cards, you probably wont be able to change it, and there's no chance of a PCI-E port. Might want to save up for an ATX size desktop, if possible. They are cheap to build at all budgets and easy to upgrade.

 

Alright, thanks. I think my core 2 Duo is 2.20 GHz or similar, and for that price, I might just explore a higher GHz one.
