Heroes VII

It won't run. I installed the beta on my computer, but it didn't work due to the RAM and also because of the Windows version. I have XP x32. At first, I was shocked by the system requirements (the graphics are terrible even compared to the 6th installment), and I thought that by the release, they would turn the poorly optimized code into something less resource-intensive, but as they say, it doesn't hurt to dream.
Now, I'm wondering if it's worth buying Windows 7 x64 and new RAM for this questionable game.
