I was complaining here about a month ago, about the fact that ZoneAlarm Pro's minimum system requirements called for a 2GHz or faster processor. It still does, and I'm upset about that, but it got me wondering about other software's requirements, so I decided to look up some pro and consumer...

Hi all. Well, my adventures with Check Point Software and ZoneAlarm continue. If you've read my last post, you might remember that I mentioned having difficulty using ZoneAlarm Pro on my recently upgraded PC. It turns out that the minimum system requirement for running ZA Pro is a 2 GHz or...
