Ummm, the problem is with your processor. I take you didn't read the minimum specs for the game? Minimum specs for the game are a Dual Core Processor running at a minimum of 3.0GHz. So you either need to OC that get another Socket 775 Processor at a higher speed or you need a new computer. If you have the money I would say upgrade to i7 Architecture.
