Why each option
The minimum processor speed required for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 is 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster.
800 MHz is below the minimum 1 GHz processor speed requirement specified for Windows 7.
According to Microsoft's official system requirements for Windows 7, a 64-bit version requires a processor with a clock speed of at least 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster. This minimum specification is consistent across both 32-bit and 64-bit editions of Windows 7.
1.2 GHz exceeds the minimum requirement, making it a sufficient, but not the absolute minimum, speed.
1.8 GHz significantly exceeds the minimum requirement, making it a sufficient, but not the absolute minimum, speed.
