I think your processor is better than P4.
You could also ask in the Lightroom forum.
Intel core 2 Duo CPU T5600 @1.83GHz or would I be wasting my time.
you’re fine.
I usually check the software will run on my machine before buying…
…. but that’s just me (I’m weird that way).
Hi stevent, do you have a sensible answer to my question? I am simply trying to ascertain whether Lightroom will work on this PC,and I can use an alternative, if necesary. Sarchasm is, of course, the lowest form of wit!
Gary,
The Core2Duos are a newer generation than the Pentium line. As dave said, you’re fine. Go ahead.

Take it easy. We’re just having a little fun among ourselves. It wasn’t directed at you, since you’d already got your answer 🙂
Sorry Gary, just a little needling, forgive my attempt at sarcasm.

you haven’t been here very long gary. wait until the puns start! 😉
Is there not a trial of Lightroom available? If so, you could do like Stevent and make sure that it will run correctly.
It’s a hard comparison, but within limits the T5600 will do well.
The T5600 is a "Mobile" processor, that is, aimed at laptops and such.
The limits include a bus speed of only 667MHz, where the better units are already at 1333MHz and some beyond. But being a dual, and if LR2 is making good use of hyperthreading, you will find it adequate.
The P4 is rather ancient.
