Minimum system requirements for playing Monkey's Audio (.APE) files?

[beatle]

I'm not sure which forum this should go in, mods move as you see fit. I'm planning to rip all of my cds to Monkey's Audio and I'm curious as to whether my P2-450 w/192 megs will be able to play them back without stuttering/other problems.

Wouldn't that information be on a Monkey Audio site somewhere?

Why don't you just rip a track or two and see if it stutters?

For some reason the FAQ is only included in the install, not on the website. I'm at work with limited account priviledges, so I'm not able to check the FAQ. The P2-450 is in my girlfriend's computer right now which is about 6 hours away. I'm planning on replacing it with a mb/cpu/ram so I can have the passively cooled cpu again.

Thanks for the quick responses. I finally found a post on the monkey's audio forum from a user with a similar question after digging through 13 pages:
