George Broussard of 3DR took the time to post in the Max Payne story comments yesterday. He's saying that despite the 1Ghz, 192mb, 64mb videocard specs for optimal performance, the game should be real fast on a 800mhz machine with a 32mb videocard already with almost all the details turned on.

I ran MadOnion's 3DMark2001 which runs a demo using the Max Payne engine.
It ran quite decent on my AMD 900, 512RAM, GF1 DDR 32MB. I was surprised at the level of detail even on the low setting.

I think that 3D Realms / Remedy are being honest. Most companies would just slap a "500MHz / TNT2 recommended" on there even though it would play like ass (by my, and most other people here's standards)
