CPU and Memory
Our CPUs and memory didn't seem to affect our Prey timedemo results all that much. Scaling our brand-new Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 processor down by nearly 900MHz barely nudged the results. Our Athlon FX-60 dropped in performance a bit more as we scaled down the clock speeds, but not nearly enough to make us recommend a CPU upgrade over any other component.
Memory constraints don't affect Prey too much either. We recommend upgrading to 1GB of RAM if you haven't done so already, but you could get away with 512MB or 768MB if you don't mind chugging through loading screens and the occasional hitched frame.
