Can you run Gypsy or Fab 4 with a 2.4 Ghz processor ?

Hi,

I'm thinking of upgrading my system. However, even though many advertised systems have 3 GB of Ram and Core Duo, they often have a processor speed of 2.4 Ghz. The system requirements for Fab 4 and Gypsy are quoted as a 2.5 Ghz processor or faster.


So my question is, if all the other requirements were met, would the 2.4 processor be able to run these two new programs, or would I have to spend a lot more to break the 2.5 Ghz threshold ?

Thanks.

The 2.5 Ghz requirement is in reference to a single processor computer (Pentium 4), a multi-processor machine such as Core 2 Duo will be enough even if each processor is less than 2.5 Ghz.
