Need for Speed Shift has the following requirements:

Intel Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz

Does that mean that it won't work in my old desktop?

that is correct, Need for Speed Shift will not run on your machine, it requires a dual core processor.

display is good to go,
but try to figure it out with this.

dual core is a generic term representing 2 cores on a single die. Likewise, quad core represents 4 cores on a single die.

This is different from Core Duo and Core 2 Duo. These are micro-architectures for how the CPU operates. Core was Intel's first dual core architecture, and Core 2 is the "sequel" to Core.

So you see, a CPU can be a Core Duo with 2 cores, or it can be a Core 2 Duo with 2 cores. They are both dual core -- the difference is the micro-architecture.

Simply put, Core 2 is a faster, more powerful micro-architecture.
so what do you think.

chances are kaskasero15 will be able to run Need for speed shift.

I do worry about the 1GB of memory, especially if you are running Windows Vista or Window 7. I would recommend upgrading the memory, the CPU and Graphics card should handle Need For Speed Shift. Pentium Dual Core Processors tend to not be able to keep up with Core 2 DUO's, but the extra MHz should give you the boost needed to run the game.

I would recommend to exit out of all background applications running while booting into the game if you are trying to run it with 1GB of RAM.

Good Luck.

I can't even get this game to freaking run. (Freezes at loading screen.)
Might be because it's a downloaded version.
But the pirates are very skilled these days so probably not.
And i know it's not my specs.

Good thing i downloaded it before buying it!
Would've been $70 right down the toilet.

wanted to see what everyone thinks before i make the purchase myself for NFS Shift. here are my system specs.

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4000+ @ 2.130
2GB DDR2 5200 RAM
320GB Hitachi HDD
256MB DDR Nvidia 6200 Overclocked
Windows Vista Home Premium
Sound Blaster XiFi sound card

the video card supports the pixel shader 3.0 so i dont see that as a problem. what are your thoughts?

as far i know..6200 series only have shader 2.0 ...

the link provided below is from nvidias official site. says it has shader version 3.0 support, so i guess i was right in my post above. check it out if you'd like to confirm.

also, after googling min system specs, Ive seen alot of posts on various forums/websites saying it is playable on a 256mb video card, but its just not gunna be all super pretty like it would on a higher end card. that's one reason why i asked if my video card would cut the mustard for NFS Shift. so any info if i need to upgrade my video card would be great, as i'm not too tech savvy. thanks!

I have all requirements you listed, but the game still isn't working for me, i've tried getting better drivers and everything and that isn't helping me, do you have any tips that would help me out?
