Default System requirements?

I'm quite sure that my computer can run Break Blocks, but I was just curious, it is said that Break Blocks is attempting to get the lowest possible system requirements so almost all computers can easily play them, and I was wondering, have the developers of Break Blocks come accross a definite system spec yet, or do they at least have a guess of what those specs should approximately be?

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere on the site, but any reply will be appreciated!

You know, we haven't developed an actual min spec, but I believe the lowest end machine I have run it on was my father's business oriented Dual Core 2.4 GHz, 2GB RAM, and Integrated Intel Graphics, which ran it at 60+ FPS constantly. I know that the maximum RAM consumption is around 200MB, so the game could conceivably run on a machine with only 512MB of RAM running on Windows XP, though I have not tested that. Let me throw out a guess here:

Min Spec:
2.0GHz Processor
512MB RAM
nVidia 6800 or better, ATi 9800 or better, or Intel Integrated Graphics GMA 900 or better
400MB Hard Drive Space

Recommended:
Dual Core 2.0 GHz Processor
1GB RAM
nVidia 6800 or better, AMD 9800 or better, or Intel Integrated Graphics GMA X3000 or better
400MB Hard Drive Space

My computer is in such a tragic state right now, I can't even run Break Blocks.

My GFX card will be replaced on Monday.

I will then play Break Blocks and laugh at how pathetic my computer was, you will all join me in laughter.

That's SMIFF's hero, some insane game "reviewer" who must always have a dick contest with everyone to prove how "manly" he is, when he is in fact just a big dick himself

Seeing as I'm too much of a loser to afford "next working day" delivery, I'll have to wait until this friday. (Maybe earlier if I'm lucky, but I'm never lucky.)
