so i just bought a laptop (300$ new), and now i go to canyourunit(.com) and run a test to see if i can run guild wars on this piece of shit, for my processor i get...

AMD C-50 (that is right, dual core C-50...)
1.00 GHz rated at 11.2 GHz (that seems unrealistic, considering its a dual core 1.00 GHz)

i can hardly believe that... idk if the fact its a 64bit or something else messes up, but theres gotta be something wrong, because my desktop has a dual core 3.2 and its rated 5.76 GHz and when i run programs it seems like theyre running smoother and faster

ill try to install it on my laptop when i can, but i still doubt the results i got on canyourunit

I have a netbook with a C-50 APU. It runs GW at about 30 fps, medium settings, but at a relatively low (native) rez of 1366x768. (What do you expect for only $300 )

The main reason for the odd "can your unit" rating is the graphics portion of the C-50. The CPU portion of the C-50 is not even as fast as an Intel Atom, but the graphics portion is much, much better than Intel integrated graphics.

Funny that some of the minimum requirements is a sound card and a CD/DVD-player.. you need neither to play the game and many people even play with the sound off But it doesn't say it requires an internet connection.

canyourunit is very very bad with AMD stuff. Don't take it for its word
