2.8 or higher isn't really considered "low". Anything below 2.8, yes.

If its below 3.2GHz for a dual core, maybe its low.
Quad core, 2.8 or better will be fine for gaming.

Like I said. Dual core should be fine with most games.

Also screw the alarm clock, I'm going to freeze myself in the refrigerator for 10 hours then thaw myself out.

I still hate dual core cause I just want the awesomeness of quad core.

Lol, you know AMD made six core processors right? Also I couldn't fit in the fridge.

It has shelves and I'm too lazy to pull them out. Also the fridge is full with food.

Lol, I have a Intel. Their video cards suck ASS though.

I've said this to multiple people.

Intel don't sell video cards. They don't even sell video chips. They just make the video chips and send them to manufacturers to be directly soldered onto a motherboard. All Intel graphics are integrated graphics chips. Integrated graphics are usually the "south bridge" on a motherboard as far as I know but I could be wrong on that, but it does not mean all south bridge chips on motherboards are integrated video chips.

The only purpose for Intel video chips is easy graphics, whether its just simply rendering the desktop to Flash videos or even movies. My Dell laptop for example has one of the most simple basic Intel graphics chips that can't even do 720p videos on Youtube.

I have a 2.33 GHz intel quad core.  Works well for gaming, haven't had a game not run well because of it.  RAM is another story though. :/

Which I knew that. I'm just saying that they suck which is true. Their pricing isn't even worth it. Just get a 9400GT for 50 bucks.

2.3 is fine. I'm talking about like extreme gaming. Very high end games like Empire/Napoleon Total Wars, GTA4, etc.

Gee, I'd love to. But you can't exactly just jam a video chip into a laptop. It's pretty complicated when it comes to laptops. So complicated that its better off just buying a new one.

Which is why Desktops FTW!

Oh yes my video card comes in, in about 3-4 hours. I'm so excited. I'm going to go try to fit in the fridge again because these few hours are taking forever.

Play L4D2 on all high settings (antialiasing, etc...)
