CPU to slow for SQL Server 2005 express?

Hello,
i want to install the SQL 2005 express Server on a HP-Netserver LH4 with 1 Xeon 500 CPU. I know, that i must have a 600MHz CPU, but i cant change the CPU. Is there one way to start the SQL server?
Thanks
Michael

I *believe* that the processor discrepancy will just give you a warning, but still allow you to install/start the service. Is this the case?

Thanks,

Hi Michael,

Something else is going on. The processor check never issues a failure but only warnings. Based on what you described there shouldn't be an issue. The proc is an Intel Xeon (which is a P-III compatible or greater) so that shouldn't be a problem.

Can you explain what you mean by the engine won't be installed? Is it grayed out in the feature selection dialog? Does it attempt to install but fail?

Which version of Windows are you running?
