Hm. I played Unreal II from start to finish on an XP1900+ with a GF3Ti200.
I did turn details down somewhat to maintain reasonable framerates on some
levels with lots of reflections etc going on, but apart from that it played
decent enough. The details I removed didn't change anything that I could
see, while I got the framerate I needed, so it was fair. Having said that,
I don't think I would've recommended anything less than my machine. As a
min spec, yes, but my machine would definitely be the lowest spec I would
say label "recommended". When I think of a recommended spec I consider that
to be the lowest spec machine you can play with decent framerates and
graphics at least halfway up the "lookin' pretty" scales. I sorta miss a
third spec on game boxes: "Perfect". A "perfect" spec machine should play
consistently at 30+ FPS with all details maxed out at 1280x1024.
