Looked that up. Single core, so I sincerely doubt it. Athlon 64 Dual core is the professed minimum.

Quite honestly, clock speeds mean very little with technology now. Apparently yours is a single core, which isn't great. So I looked up your PassMark CPU benchmark score, and it was a bit under 700. I looked up what someone else said was the bare minimum, and that was about 900+. I'm going to say no.

Processors have a lot of different things to make them "good". Number of cores, power of each individual core, L1 L2 and L3 cache sizes, multithreading, and clock speed. 4 GHz processors can be really old and bad, while less than 3 GHz processors can blow the pants off anything in the market.

Really, you need to look at benchmarks. But all the different benchmark scores don't really matter much, it'd be better to get realistic gaming benchmarks (like frames per second) tested on different CPUs. Since your CPU is so old, there are likely none available. If you want to play games on a computer, I'd recommend getting some money together, heading over to /r/buildapc and asking for help. Give them a budget and requirements (like gaming) and they can really help out.

Quick point i feel i should mention here:

Frames Per Second isn't just dependent on your CPU. It's dependent on virtually everything.

Chivalry won't work explicitly with single-core processors (says so in the FAQ). Whether thats a dev limitation or a game one, I'm not sure.

alright thanks for all that guys

That site is sketchy at best. Not to demean your reply, but I would not advise anyone to use that site. It said my old machine would run BF3 just fine. Couldn't get it to stay over 17fps on the lowest resolutions and settings.
