2.13GHz is less than 2.80GHz.

Go ahead and install it anyway. It will run just fine, but it may be a little slow in some areas.

Thank you for the quick response.

This is actually the wrong answer I am afraid... ;-)

When Sony says "2.8 Ghz and up", they mean Pentium 4. The guy has a Dual Core PC, where even a 1.6 Ghz version of that setup is faster than a Pentium 4 at 3 Ghz. So it's not about the Ghz numbers, it's about the architecture. ANY Intel Dual Core architecture is able to deal with HD fine.

Thanks for the responses, I'm looking forward to installing the program.

Back in August, I installed VMS 9.0 Platinum Pro on my system that uses an AMD Duron processor running at 2.0 GHZ with 1 GB RAM. It runs just fine and since I"m only currently working with non-HD footage I'm not going to worry about not meeting the recommended specs.
