"If the minimum is 700 MHz, then my 1.8 GHz will be friggin' awesome!" This, of course, also leads to many complaints of frame rate chugging on even higher end systems when all the graphical details are turned on/maxed out. Why? Because the lower the system requirements listed on the box, the more people who will feel comfortable buying the game. The REAL truth is even simpler: Game companies will tend to list the lowest requirements which allow the game to run (in at least a playable, if not pretty, fashion) in a relatively low resolution with many - or most, or all - of the graphical details turned down/off.

For example, how much money are hardware manufacturers going to make if a bunch of people decide to upgrade to a 1.2-GHz machine and/or a GeForce4MX (those being examples of "minimum" computer specs common on current games)? That's rhetorical, but I'll answer it anyway: Not much at all. I could see this but for the fact that minimum system requirements tend to list pretty low values. Since games are all about eye candy nowadays, that might be a good start at explaining the situation. So think about this: A little extra eye candy and you've worse than halved the performance. There's more eye candy in XP and that's about it.

What's strange about this, of course, is that there are few substantiative differences between 2000 and XP.

The 500mhz Windows 2000 system will actually outperform the XP box on a clean installation. Windows XP struggles on a 1.2ghz Celeron with 128MB RAM, and I know this because we have several of both systems. To put this in perspective, consider Windows 2000, which ran fine on a 500mhz Celeron with 64MB RAM. But since game performance has to be high, and since game customers are likely to complain about poor performance, the fudge factors used to determine performance specifications are probably a lot different from what Microsoft uses for Windows.

That being said, the odds are pretty good that more features mean more code bloat, which mean the need for faster processors and more memory. Then let us know, since you've made us curious :-). I think you could help answer your own question by trying the experiment of buying the game and checking out how well it works on your system.

Since in the case of pretty much every version of Windows, the box requirements are simply to run the operating system, and you'll need a much faster PC with a lot more RAM to actually run today's applications without wincing - and I'm referring to "simple" word processing and spreadsheets, not games. Naturally, I got to thinking about other games and apps, and what I want to know is: what gives? How accurate/trustworthy are system specs listed on a box? Are they artificially inflated to sell more hardware from companies that these publishers are affiliated with (nVidia in UT's case), or is there a more logical explanation?" Curious, I checked out the UT2003 system specs listed on the official site, and found much the same info- specs that were quite different from those listed on the retail box in my storage closet. My PC runs on a 733mHz Pentium III, just meeting the minimum system req.'s for UT2003 (which runs very smoothly on my machine, BTW), but UT2004 requires at least a 1gHz processor for the PC version.

I thought that I'd have no problems, seeing as how UT2004 is mostly just UT2003 with new content, but upon looking up the specs online, I found quite a different story.

May Kasahara asks: "Seeing as how my Unreal Tournament buddies are considering upgrading to UT2004 soon, I thought I'd check out the system requirements ahead of time.
