    ...2MB video card?
    I'm gonna assume that means 512MB
    (If it's 32, you may need an upgrade)
    1st of all, are you running other apps in the background while playing? You may not have the ram for that.
    2nd: You may have the settings to high for your specs. Try lowering them

    Also...what's WoW3? World of warcraft 3?

    I didn't say that you can't play a game with specs below minimum. I have before. I just don't think you should.

    It's not a big deal :P
    no , you shouldnt
    but sometimes u can , and i just say u can run wow at max settings with 32 mb
    isnt big deal too

    Sometimes minimum specs doesn't mean you can actually play the game. It just means what it takes to run. I've played many games below the required specs most of the time it worked. Instead of 512 ram I got 502 which is really weird. >_>

    502? Weirdo.

    Minimum specs tend to differ, since there is no standard for what is "minimum". It can be from being able to play the game at all, to being able to play it smoothly.

    Mostly they make the minimum specs a bit higher than the trully required ones, to assure everyone plays the game smoothly even on low specs.

    And you can play a game that requires 1gb ram with 512 ram.

    The needed RAm that you don't have will be used from your HD. But it is slow as hell.

    ROM is the fastest, when you're short of ROM and it needs some it will go to the RAM, if you're short on the RAM it will just use your HD, wich is the slower.

    And, you can set the maximum of HD that the computer can use to replace RAM memory.

    And Video Ram can be replaced with normal RAM.

    But, it is slow, as I said.

    It's that you have an integrated graphics card that just uses normal RAM as video ram.

    Yes it is the same.

    What differs if that the memory is shared or exclusive to the video card.

    If the video card says it has 512 MB (shared) it is just bullshit. That means it will take 512MB from your RAM MEMORY, and everything will be slow, slow as hell.

    If the video card says it has 512MB, doesnt matter if it is integrated or not, its 512MB.

    Hmm don't know nothing...that's a double negative....perhaps they don't have those in spain?

    Anyhow, Minimum requirements are not stupid, they are a general medium for you to read so you'll be able to tell whether or not your computer should be able to run the game fairly well if at all.

    Minimum is to RUN the game, if you have bare minimum it usually means 20fps on lowest settings. Having recommended usually means 60fps on lowest/medium settings, for the most part.

    Unless you have 6 computers attached to each other each with dual cores and 8mb of ram somehow emulating a MUCH better video card than what you have, then yes you are a lier.

    And running it on highest settings doesn't mean you have 5fps while on highest settings.
