Boiling Point: 4.2GHz Pentium Required !!!!

I _must_ have missed it but I don't remember seeing the minimum
requirements for Boiling Point that specified 4.2GHz Pentium or
better. So, 2 questions....

1) Has anyone tried playing it with a 2.4GHz Pentium?

2) How many of you have machines with a 4.2GHz Pentium?

I've played it with a Xp2400, 1gb and Radeon 9700 - it wasnt a pleasant
experience. The UK DVD box minimum specs say 2ghz CPU, 512mb and shader
supporting card.

Where did you see 4.2ghz specified ?

Sounds like a mis read to me. For a start they don't exist as far as I know.
And if it was a guess by some reviewer of a theoretical system to run it well
then why not go hog wild and say 10GHz.
