Yes, key word minimal. Meaning you don't get the best experience possible. Same can be said for the new DLC. They COULD possibly run it, at a cost of having a piss poor gaming experience. I had an old PC and bought some new games and was upset for a few when the games I wanted to play, think Hitman 1 and 2 when they came out and Star Trek: Bridge Commander, Star Wars: Jedi Knight II were choppy and crashed. When I read the requirements needed to have a much better experience, I was upset a little bit. However I understood perfectly what was needed. I upgraded my PC, eventually bought a nicer laptop, and the fun and experience was awesome.
