A quick question about NFSMW

Mopar · Post by **Mopar** » 09 Feb 2006, 08:03

I've searched the forums for any info on this, But I couldn't find it. Anyway's, What's the big difference between regular NFSMW, and Black edition? I can get them for the same price for cheap, And I'd like to know if it's better to get black edition?

Oh and I'd like to know how it would run on my machine.
Processor: Pentium Centrino M 1.8 Gigahertz, 2mb cache, FSB 533Mhz
Video card: nVidia 7800GTX 256mb
Ram: 1 Gig

I think I should be able to run it on max, I run BF2 on max, with AA on, and run an estimated 80-150 FPS.

Black Edition has a couple of things (cars, races, vinyls) more in it. Not that big a difference really. If it's the same price no reason not to get it though.

A 7800GTX with a 1.8 cpu

I didnt know you could do that so effectivly.

Well, NFSMWBE has 8 specially tuned cars in the bonus section, and the Chevrolet Camaro etc. It has a few extra viynals, but not many. And it has a special challenge in arcade mode where you have to get 500,000 or somthing bounty in a slightly tuned Camaro at heat level 7 against supercharged SUV's. it has a bonus DVD which contains some bodykit concept art and some other vids and stuff.

If its the same price, id get it.

It's a Centrino (dothan core) cpu. So effectively it matches the performance of a P4 (prescott core, non HT) cpu of about double the clock rate.

That is, dothan at 1.8GHz is roughly as powerful as prescott is at 3.6 GHz. Roughly.

(in case you didn't know, Centrino/dothans were designed for laptop use, but there are motherboards available for desktop use aswell)

These days it's impossible to compare performance between different types of cpus by just looking at the GHz.

Yea, I tested it on the demo today on max, works fine. I'll be getting black edition. Thanks for informing me about the extra features.

You could just get the regular version and download the BE patch in the Utilities section.
