I ask because I don’t have the 3.0 ghz processor it claims to require. I am at least somewhat suspicious of that “requirement”.

These type of CPu requirements are usually expressed as effective P4 performance. If you have a P4, then you need a 3.0 ghz one. But most likely you have something more modern like an AMD athalon or X2 or a core two duo. In which case you can pretty much ignore it.

What CPU do you have? How new is your computer?
