guys, i have one old netbook (really really old :p) but i want to play harry potter 6 pc game that need at least 1.8ghz, but mine 1.6ghz. well, i'm just asking, before you guys swearing at me, the reason why i want to play this game in my netbook, cause i can play it anywhere. i really don't want to pack a cpu with the monitor in my bag and bla bla bla.

well, in this netbook, i'm able to run the demo, but, does it mean that i can play the full version?

You need to check the full system requirements of the game against your netbook, not just the CPU. If the rest of your system meets the requirements of the game, then I would expect the game to run, although probably rather poorly.

From my experience, a game I played required a 2.0GHz Intel processor. My laptop only had a 1.73 GHz processor. The game ran, but I ran into severe lag as the processor tried to keep up. It didn't help that my graphics card, while meeting the minimum specs for the game, was still on the low end of the acceptable scale.
