That 2.0 ghz is your cpu. and no, it's not an easy fix, depending on your mother board you may be able to install a larger cpu. However because you have a laptop this is something only a technician should do.

I've been going through all these minimum system requirements in various forums that a lot of people are just meeting.
This test omits one very important factor and that is one that is very often overlooked. The size of the monitor.
19" running at 1024x768, OK. There is no reference to the amount of resources that the graphics card has to allocate to let's say a 24" or larger monitor.
I run a 24" using a px9800 gtx+ and just get by by running 1600x900 resolution any higher and I need to consider either a faster card or a dual set up. Yep that's correct, dual graphics cards, one for the game and one to run the monitor. That is the reality of modern gaming. A lot of people install these things after reading the blurb on these minimum requirements only to shake their heads in disbelieve when their new game chugs along at about 3 frames a second not realising it's their new 24" wide screen monitor that's sucking up all the power.
These online test must have some means of testing your graphics card in relation to the size and resolution of the pcs monitor otherwise they're worthless.

How do we know the test is 100% accurate?
It said my comp couldn't run the Kitchen and Bath stuff but my computer when I installed it and played the game did just fine so I don't think it's entirely accurate.
