This may be boggling to many; due to its age, Battlefront doesn't know it has more than one core it can utilize, and multi-core processors divide their speeds according to the number of cores.
I heard this about games able to utilize more cores vs others not knowing more than one core exists. This CPU and Motherboard cost way less than the Q6600 @2.40GHz Quad CPU and the ATX motherboard I bought long ago. Is it a good buy to play SWBF1 and 2? And description for motherboard Supported CPU is CPU Type Core 2 Quad/Duo / Pentium Dual-Core / Celeron and the CPU Socket Type is LGA 775. No where does it say it will support Pentium 4, will it?
