Not so much.

I run it fine with 1GiB on a Socket 754 Sempron 64-bit 2800.  I'm stuck at the 
medium settings and run at 800x600 (or is it 1024, I forget) though.  The 
high settings screw with my 6600GT.  The only noticeable issue I have is when 
firing shoulder held anti-tank missiles, the game will visually lagout from 
the missile flame exhaust and the framerate seems to drop substantially for 
about 1 second.  It's enough to get you dead.  Not sure why that is, exactly.  
Probably my 6600GT can't handle it.  I haven't tried messing with the AA and 
AF settings, so they're at whatever the game default is.
