Is it really my processor?
mslewis:
Before i bite the bullet and buy a new computer. I contacted EA because I bought Fast Lane and installed without success. It would only crash to desktop. After following the direction to uninstall and reinstall (3 times) they finally came back with the answer that my processor was too slow. It's 2.1 and I think they recommend 2.3 or 2.4. I played all the way up to Ambitions before having any trouble. Please help me.
Thanks

Ha! EA lies.
I think it's pretty obvious that the real problem here is that you need a new monitor.
Invisigoth:
I am assuming that you are trying to say that you have a 2.1 GHz processor, which is barely over the minimum specs for the game on Windows XP, and under the minimum specs for Vista. You usually want to be well over all minimum specs, not just barely scraping by. So, yeah, I would say it could be your processor, but that could just be one component of the problem, perhaps your entire system is under or just barely over specs. You haven't told us any other things like how much RAM you have, which operating system you use, or which graphics card you have so it makes it hard to diagnose the problem.
Patrick:
Never heard of a CTD because the CPU was too slow.
mslewis:
OS is Vista, Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.1GHz, Memory: 3070MB RAM
Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT.
If I'm correct, everything else is o.k. except for the processeor. I thought about getting the processor upgraded, but noone i talked to was able to help me. They made it sound really complicated and I would be better off buying a new computer. Like I said I played all the way up to Ambitions with no problems.
Thank again.
