The minimum required system is a computer running an operating system,
isn't it?

No minimum requirements, as far as I can see one needs no graphics at
all to do batch processing.

Nah, I have a similar graphics (G33) and it works just fine. With
software-OpenGL even in OpenGL mode.


I wonder what all this discussions about minimum requirements are. Is
this a subtele way to ged rid of competing users? Like "your PC isn't
manly enough, you loose"? I actually start to get this impression. The
same for these discussions about making the user interface less
intuitive to be "more professional".

This would be a nice statement on such a hardware requirements page! It
works for everybody from no graphics to simple Vesa graphics to the
latest 96 core, 48 GB, OpenGL 15.2 thing.
