With Taiwan so close to your area, I would've thought that the Phillipine marketplace would be more uo to date. Maybe more expensive by comparsion to the local economy, but anyway over here two years ago it would've been hard to find much of anything being sold quite as slow as your system. I had a 450 MHz PC I'd bought almost three years ago that was not "top of the line" when I got it. But video has changed by leaps and bounds. That PC had a 32 MB ATI Rage Fury, which is totally out of date now.
Even the four month old PC wasn't quite snappy enough for this game (64 MB card, but a GeForce 2 MX 400), had to turn down a lot of high drain options myself. This rapid turnover of high end gaming hardware is part of why I don't buy many games at all, and also why I keep playing over again in those older games with good repeatability aspects. Depending on various factors, there do seem to be some players able to get by with systems barely meeting the minimums, or even under them (and if course, you also have folks with systems like mine that technically meet all the "suggested" requirements, but still need plenty of tweaking to run nicely).
