What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for Intel Pentium E2180 (2 * 2000), AMD Athlon Dual Core 4450e (2 * 2300), or equivalent, 4 GB RAM and GeForce GT 220 (1024 MB), Radeon HD 4650 (1024 VRAM), or equivalent. At 4GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Install size is roughly 1GB.
