Well, no. It needs a minimum of 800mHz... that means essentially a pentium 3 era processor. I can live with that to be honest. The killer will actually be the memory imo. How many OEM PCs have been sold in the last 4 years with 1gig RAM or more. A tiny percentage. Although at the end of the day it is very easy to upgrade RAM (slot it in...), the average joe wont have a clue which type of RAM he needs to buy so that it will work with his current system. At least with a GPU, the only 2 possibilities are AGP or PCIe. With RAM there is a host of stuff you need to know before you upgrade. Thats going to mean a lot of headaches!
