M.U.G.E.N Video Card Requirements

I regret if this has already been asked, though post/topic searching for video card requirements for Hi-res Mugen as well as HD Mugen got me no answer I wanted, so that's my question. As far as the Video Card Benchmarks, here:

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php

What is pretty much the minimum requirement to play Hi-res Mugen? How about HD Mugen? Can the Intel GMA 3150 Express handle them, for example? It has a rating of 69 in the Video Card Benchmarks.

The computer in question also has a total RAM of 2GB (it says 2GB, although can be expanded to 4GB).

Am I heading down the path of evil...again?

IIRC the current version of Mugen doesn't use the GFX card for rendering yet. The 1.1 version will.

What you need for now is a good processor and some RAM.

How much RAM? Is 2GB enough?

And I was asking about regular old Hi-res Mugen, a Hi-res Mugen I've had for over 2 years. Can the Intel GMA 3150 handle it in terms of graphics?

Processing speed is out of the question. I know I have what it takes as far as processing speed goes.

Well if you have Hi-Res Mugen then it will also use the CPU only, since 1.0 is the most recent.

RAM is good too.

Alright, now how about HD Mugen (little better than Hi-res)? ;D

There is no such thing as HD Mugen.

...I have one for FOTNS characters and Street Fighter characters in HD. I know for a fact it's more detailed than Hi-res Mugen. Meh, either way since you don't know what I'm talking about. :(

Yeah you see...what does it mean by HD resolution exactly. I mean my Pentium 4 @ 3.00 GHz just played HD Mugen nicely (takes more power than Hi-res Mugen). Sure there's a lot of loading times between it booting up and in character selection, but the gameplay ran at 60 fps easily. Unless the version of HD Mugen you speak of is something akin to the new KoF game, Street Fighter HD Remix or BlazBlue then I don't see how a Core Duo is needed at all. A Core Duo on the CPU Benchmark is in the 700-1000 range and the P4 I described is a 490 rating.
