As I said before, in consoles, the manufacturers are locked into certain hardware requirements, so you don't have that as an issue.

Exactly. My computer is a year old, 2.8 GHz 1024 MB Ram
...And I can play Freedom Force vs The 3rd Reich, The Movies and Command and Conquer Generals. No other games made after 2001 have worked on this computer.
