Solution
I might suppose that when the game developer says "minimum" they just might mean it.
If they said "recommended" then that is a different matter.
I would be prepared to buy a 2 x 4gb upgrade kit for about $35.
You can buy the game and try it.
If you try to run a game that uses more than 4gb of ram on a PC with 4gb of system ram, it will start using your pagefile which means it will use a potion of your hard drive as ram and since the hard drive is much slower than system ram you will experience large frame rate drops or the game might crash. What games do you want to play and what are the rest of your system specs?
