Every time I've tried to run a game with just the "minimum" requirements, it's always slow, the graphics are crappy, and sometimes I get random freezes/crashes.
I don't get why game manufacturers just say, "If you want this game, just go and upgrade your computer. Otherwise, you ain't gonna be able to play it!"
Shouldn't the "recommended" requirements just BE what you need to run the game at it's best?

The minimum requirements just mean that you will be "able" to play the game but you will have to deal with problems like it being slow. If you want to run the game they way it was inteded then they have the recomended requirements. I think that it can help you determine if your computer is fast enough, if you have most of the recommended requirements and everything else is at least above minimum you should be fine.
They just want you to spend more money, and have the latest system.

Minimum requirements is the lowest amount of a certain feature (i.e. RAM) to run a certain game. The game manufacturers sometimes try to trick you by saying, "Well, you technically can run this game on you computer," when the game will barely be able to load.
On the other hand, the recommended requirements are the levels of a feature needed to smoothly run the game. If you are thinking about buying a PC game, try to pick a game that fits your computer's recommended requirements. If you don't, you'll be wasting your money.

It is like minimum daily reccommendations on vitamins. It is the absolute minimum you need not to suffer severe deficiencies in those vitamins or to prevent death, not the amount you need for optimal health.
I guess they figure if you really want to try the game out you can on the system you have, but for the best gaming experience you should really upgrade. I don't really try to play any games unless I have the reccommended requirements or better because I've had the same experience.
Check out the Dell XPS 700, I'm drooling over that one, but I might have to settle for the XPS 400 for now.
Best wishes.

Minimum requirements, mean it uses the lowest amout of everything pretty much. I doesn't need everything to run, but it wont be the best. Recommended is going to be a much better qualitly and running speed.

that's not continually about assembly the minimum criteria, it is also about the known of the elements. Your difficulty should be in the application and driving force variations you're operating. once you've extremely a lot of AV/AS operating and your equipment tray fills 0.5 your interest bar once you start up up you're toast earlier you start up any application.

Computer Slow
Download and then run startup.exe at:

Can't live without it and windows...
Then disable and/or uninstall whatever u don't need.
Other things to try:
1 - Disk Cleanup (removal of temp files, cookies, etc.)
2 - Defrag
3 - Registry Cleanup (CAN BE VERY RISKY!)

Because certain programs require specific parameters (cpu speed, video card, memory, etc.)
You can't just say, "If you don't have this you're screwed". Business doesn't work that way. It should, but it doesn't.
