They are basing the original system requirements on Unreal tournament 3, which is the engine being used.
I would add a little bit to the original requirements to be more accurate.

I would say that one would definately run it, and as a lot of these games have graphics that are very adjustable, it will just be a case of fiddling a bit when yo uget game to get best results.

BTW do you mean 1024 x768 res or HD?
