Torn, it isn't 64 bit dual processors... the recommended business setup is a P4 HT (hyper thread) processor, which is much more than a year old already... and that is the recommended level. That means that there will likely be reasonable performance down to P4 2.4 or so.

it isn't much different from when we went from Windows 3.1 / 3.11 to XP. The cutoff at that point was about 400mhz, which at the time put a ton of PCs into the junk pile.
