Can I play minecraft on a 2.5GHz?

I looked online for the system requirements to play minecraft and it said 2.6 GHz. So can I still play minecraft if I have a 2.5 GHz?

Is it a dual core, or just a single core? Frequency alone isn't all that helpful.

Post brand, model number, operating system when asking for help as well as the processor and graphic card chip set if it pertains to gaming. It is a little more complicated than just the GHz of the computer as to it running a game.

Can your computer run that game?
