  • CPU: 3.0 GHz P4, Dual Core 2.0 or AMD64X2 (or higher)
  • RAM: 1 GB for XP / 2GB for Vista

There you have it folks, Get ready.

That's why I bought a 360, so I wouldn't have to worry about requirements.

Don't worry, going on experience I'll still run this.

Its Source so it is easily scalable down and these will be the recommended reqs, making the minimum as roughly half, being 512MB, which is conveniently, what I have... And if not it looks like I'm upgrading

This day and age I'd say that 2 gigs is minimum, you need to upgrade bro! RAM is cheap too, although I don't know how it is over there in BBQ land.
