Well, just because I could, I installed some demos onto an old desktop I hope to upgrade. The specs go something like this: 1.3 GHZ AMD Duron, 256 mb ram, 30 gb hard drive and a SiS onboard soundcard. It ran quite smoothly with no other apps running except jaws, though when I ran jim kithcens homer on a harley using AT&T voices, I got slightly lagged due to the higher quolity sound.
