... You forgot to add this after all the requirements.... "Or ONLIVE"... That's service amazes me... There is another service launching named "Gaikai" that is like Onlive. I beta tested it and the beta was playing ME2 and it worked FLAWLESS on my Pentium 4 with 768mb ram and onboard graphics.... Seriously, I was blown away.
