Question regarding system requirements and resolution?

I have an old computer (2007) and it's got 1.5 GB RAM and an nVidia 7300 GT. Well due to resounding and constant boredom I downloaded the Dragon Age 2 demo. The minimum requirements are 2 GB RAM and an nVidia 8800 GT.



But I lowered the resolution to the lowest it would go(800x600) and it ran very smooth. Granted it wasn't too pretty, because my monitor was a native 1280x720, but it ran without any hitches.



Is this true for most games? If I lower the resolution does it compensate for not meeting the minimum requirements? Or is it a case-by-case thing?Question regarding system requirements and resolution?
case by case. many games wont allow you to lower the resolution that low, and requirements are usually made when the computer is set to a playable, good looking resolution.
