for what the SCP or....something else...

if it's the SCp then..i have some trouble processing some missions due to the extreme height of FPS but other than that it's pretty nice...

At least on the systems I've dealt with, that processor doesn't handle HTL very well at all.

Have you ever had it lock up in teh first campaign mission, playing the beam sound over and over?

Well, that's the non-existent HTL support on that chip, or at least it is on my experience.

Try the -nohtl flag from the Troubleshooting section of the launcher. That solved the problem... usually. Don't use the latest builds, though. They don't work very well at all in non-HTL mode, at least they haven't for me on that chip.

Also, make sure to get up-to-date drivers from Intel itself, as there's some stuff missing from the Microsoft drviers. OpenGL will work better under the Intel drivers, for instance.
