    My new laptop runs the game with everything maxed out fine.  I don't know what my FPS is, but it's never choppy or anything.  I have noticed a few times that when I use an ability it sometimes doesn't show up.  My character does the movements, but nothing fires out thier hand or the ground doesn't shake when I hit it with my GWF.  My fans don't turn on high either.  I've played several games, and none of them seem to knock them upto the highest level of fandom lol.  When I start the fans kick on high and they're noticably louder than when playing any games...Then again it starts in literally 3 seconds from cold :)

    If your on a dual core it will be slow.

     

    And an Intel i3 2100 is a dual core with 4 threads. Please don't misinform people by implying that a dual core has less than 3 threads.

    A Core 2 Duo has 2 cores and 2 threads.

    It's very likely that the game isn't as optimized as it should be, but it sure does not "need a stronger CPU than is commercially available".  That is just ridiculous.

     

    I don't care who said what, or what some benchmarks say. The bottom line, and all that really matters, is how the game performs on my computer, and it performs very well.  My computer is 4 years old, and was a mid-range at the time... and I am running Vista image

     

    Whether it is optimized properly, or not, it runs smoothly on a CPU that was "commercially available" several years ago. I'm sure that it runs even better on newer/better ones.
