450MHz POS actually. What? I need 1ghz to open a folder in less than half a second?
Topdawg2050:
No, you need a 2.8 ghz w\ 533 fsb to open a folder instantly :-p.
Fett101:
I dunno. I'd say more RAM would be more helpful.

Well these aren't minimum requriements, but here is what MS is saying the average longhorn box should look like.
quote:from Slashdot
"At first I thought this was a joke, but this article from Microsoft Watch confirms it: 'Microsoft is expected to recommend that the 'average' Longhorn PC feature a dual-core CPU running at 4 to 6GHz; a minimum of 2 gigs of RAM; up to a terabyte of storage; a 1 Gbit, built-in, Ethernet-wired port and an 802.11g wireless link; and a graphics processor that runs three times faster than those on the market today.'"

Flawed design. This is pratically a overkill for the decent consumers. Not that efficient IMHO.
