What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 1 Ghz, 512 MB RAM and OpenGL 1.5 must be supported by your video card. At 1GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
