And now for a change away from first-person-shooters, we have the innovative RTS World In Conflict.

Sierra listed the requirements for this game as 2.0 / 2.2 GHz for single core processors in XP / Vista, and recommends any dual core processor for the game, or a single core 2.5 GHz or faster. After a bit of forum diving however, some gamers claimed that these requirements were a bit on the low side, and a single core at 2.5 GHz could not supply enough horsepower to run the game smoothly.

Let's see how the E6700 did:

It looks like the magic number, 2.2 GHz, is again where performance benefits taper off from increasing the processor speed. Going from 2.2 GHz to 3.0 GHz barely increased performance by a few frames per second.
