BUNK!!  600MHz was the speed Microsoft recommended for playing back
movies. If you have a high end graphics card you can even play back
movies with a lower speed processor. You don't need that speed if you
are using the DVD for data!.  My AMD K6-2 450 MHz system has not
encountered any problems with installing software from a DVD drive.
