All these 'required' and 'recommended' specifications really annoy me.  
Unless I am totally mistaken, any program which will run on a pentium 
will run on a 386 (am I correct in thinking that?)  Therefore the 
'required' system is basically a judgement call as to whether the 
application will be fast enough.  When I bought Ultima 8, it said on the 
box that a 486 was reccomended, I played it on a 386, and it was fine 
albeit a little slow.
