"The website says you need a 2.4GHz processor, I know this to be wrong as it ran just fine on my 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo. "
While it doesn't have much bearing on this particular review, I'm not sure how much stock should be put in the words of anyone reviewing cmputer components who doesn't understand the difference between single and dual-core processors.
FYI, the 2.4GHz requirement was for a pentium 4, a single-core processor. A dual core can do the same work as a single core at a lower speed, so yes, a 1.6GHz Duo will run something requiring 2.4GHz. It's not that the requirement was "wrong" necessarily, you just don't seem to understand the difference in the technology. While this is easily excusable for the average person, I'd expect a bit more technical knowledge of someone employed as a reviewer. How are you supposed to give an accurate assesment of an item if you don't even understand how it works?
