Well i first logged on with, A 2ghz sempron (old athlon socket - supposedly boosted to near old athlon stats, yeah right), with 512meg of ram but had a 256meg graphics card.
It ran, but was very laggy and slow cpu wise, hardly playable, was difficult to play at all.
I now have 2.8ghz pentium D, with 1.5gig ram and same 256 meg graphics. It runs fine.
I wud say their recommended stats of.
2ghz processor or above
1gig of ram
128meg grahics card (Direct 9 compatible) Note. may rule out a lot of 128meg on board cards that come with mid range machines.
Is fairly accurate.
U may get some playing expereince on lower then that with minimum settings and tweeking, but wud struggle playablity wise. And probs wud have to reboot regulary to recover system mem ect.
