Mine runs well enough.  2.6 GHz P4, 1GB RAM, ATI 9800 Raedon Pro.
Medium settings, no AA. lowest res (what is it.. 1280x1024 or so).

It *is* obviously a buggy release, but I can see the potential.  This
is my first look at the X universe..  obviously a big Elite influence .
 (To be honest, I've only recently discovered the presence of this
'Elite' cult following... I used to play that game on me C-64).

My biggest problem with this game is the voice acting and player
models/avatars.  The would have been far better off leaving it out
entirely.  I suppose it's probably not half as bad if played in it's
native tounge, but the translators are BRUTAL. Leave out *all* that
crap acting as far as I'm concerned..  my imagination can fill in the
blanks far better than these C grade actors.

I dunno.. it's far from 'crap' in my opinion, but then again,  I'm not
having too many actual game-play issues, other than the occasional
choppy cut scene (which I'm quick on the trigger to escape out of
anyways).  It's really unfortunate that the acting/translation is SOOO
bad, and the pretty much all of the organic models (the busts of the
human pilots, aliens, etc) are borderline ridiculous, especially when
compared with the outstanding detail and complexity of all the other
in-game models (ships, stations, planets).

The lack of a proper tutorial is a big hit against it as well.

I dunno.. if you liked Elite, Privateer, and are the type more
interested in building your own epic story (not following the cheeze
script), then this one should be a hit.  If only someone would do a
complete re-recording of pretty much ALL the (English) voice acting...
