    My computer's specs:

    • Intel D915GEV-LK
    • Pentium 4 3.2GHz with 2MB cache (yes single cores work fine)
    • PNY DDR2 3.0GB (2x1GB, 2x512MB) in Dual Channel mode
    • PNY nVidia 8500GT
    • Creative Labs SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS
    • Windows 7 Professional x86(32bit)

    Anyhow, results may vary, contact a physician for further consult.
