r4771	Windows	Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 @ 2.6 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT	I haven't finished the game (still playing chapter 1), so I don't know whether is going to crash or not. It crashed only once so far. Frame-rate goes from 15 (very rarely) to 30. Most of the time,frame-rate was about 20-25FPS. I'm also playing on IL version for some more speed-up.
