Not surprising you'll need 3ghz or higher. It has lots of graphic enhancements, basicly a XP graphics special edition. I'm also a little miffed about them saying there isn't as much driver support for Nvidia, HuH! If I'm not mistaken there is a new driver over at Guru3D about every ten seconds or so. If I'm not mistaken hasn't Nvidia developed a newer card where the heat fan is on the top instead of the bottom to reduce heat and noise.
