The first Pentium processors (Pentium 60 - 66). A Pentium OverDrive processor is also available for it.
It will probably work, a friend of mine plays it on an i3 dualcore 2,8gHz and in the minimum requirements they state a dualcore processor should be enough to run it. Also don't forget that most work is done by your graphics card and if you consider upgrading your pc, upgrade your graphics card first.

This refers to the line of processors. Intel recently released the second generation "Sandy Bridge" processors that were preceded by the first line of iCore processors (i3, i5, i7)

Single-processor system has only one actual processor, while Multiprocessor system has more than one, both types of systems can have more than one core per processor. Multiple processors per system have long been used in systems that need a lot of processing power, like high traffic servers and when lots of computational power is needed. However these systems have been expensive and not needed by normal home or office users. In recent years it's become typical that one processor has 2, 3, 4 or even 8 cores. These multicore processors behave the same way as if you had multiple processors. One core can only do one task at a time. Multitasking is done by sharing the time of the processor between processes (program), one process runs for a short time, then another, then another or maybe the first one again. The switching is done so fast that the user wont know the difference. Multiple cores can run multiple processes at once for real. It depends on your software how well you computer can use the advantage of having multiple processors/cores, dividing the task to different processes.
No. The Pentium II was only available in a Slot 1 cartridge, with the exception of the Pentium II Overdrive, which was made as an upgrade to Socket 8 motherboards. Pentium II-based Celerons, however, were the first processors available for Socket 370, which was later used for Pentium IIIs.
The first Intel Pentium processors, introduced in 1994, had a speed range of 60 to 66 MHz. These early processors marked a significant advancement in performance over their predecessors, featuring superscalar architecture that allowed for better instruction processing. The Pentium line quickly expanded with higher clock speeds in subsequent releases.
Intel's first multicore processor was the Xeon, followed the same year (2002) by the Pentium IV. The two cores were implemented in a hyperthreading configuration, allowing two simultaneous threads when both threads were in the same process address space. Independent cores (in different address spaces) were supported starting with the Core-2 Duo. This configuration extended the hyperthreading model to include duplicating enough of the bus interface unit to allow two unrelated threads to run simultaneously.
Replacing the CPU is safe if you unplug your computer first.
