very, take note the recommended processor is 1.5 ghz.. this is more like the mininum as i have seen people get po'ed at the way their games are playing. the actual min that most gamers have found was about 1.8 or 2.0 ghz. The ram could be a problem as well, you would want 512mb, yes but PC-2700/333MHz to be exact in other ddram, but again 1ghz would be much better.
you can play games on me?????
kidding that is the red headed step child of os'es consider saving up for winxp pro

Its a working configuration for normal gameplay. I started with 256 MB RAM and a MX400 grafic card and played with it for half a year (Athlon 1.6 GHz = 2 GHz P4 equivalent).
You will suffer in populated cities and during large scale gatherings (events, PvP). You will suffer if you go at high speed with your swoop bike. You should be perfectly ok in space.
The single most important improvements I ever made was to upgrade to 1 GIG RAM and installing a 128 MB grafic card. The processor speed is of secondary importance.
Have fun

you should be fine.
I have a P4 1.6 GHz with 768 MB Ram. I only have a 64 MB NVIDIA GeForce 2 and I don't have any trouble unless I hit a populated Star port with people spamming the world to sell/advertise their wares
