2GB RAM and above
Windows XP
250GB Total HDD Space
16\" 4:3 Monitor @ 60Hz
Realtek AC97 Audio

Is your system better than those of the 1,724,108 people sampled? See the results here.
Phew, I'm happy I fall into this category.

I'm nowhere close to those specs. I'm still using a 6x00 generation video card...

I think it will do...I can play COD4 @ 1920x1080 full effects with stable framerate. Nintendo emulator works fine too!

That's gotta be among PC gamers, I think. Otherwise you wouldn't find the NVidia 8800 as the most popular graphics card.

Mine isn't that much different, either:

Quad-Core Intel CPU @ 2.4 Ghz (not overclocked yet)
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS G92 512Mb
2GB RAM
Windows Vista Home Basic
250GB Total HDD Space
19" 4:3 Monitor @ 60Hz
Creative X-Fi audio
Microphone enabled
DVD Drive
8Mbit Cable
