Underground 2NFS Underground 2 system requirements
Retail PC, 2004 box
PCGamingWiki’s minimum line, also repeated by nfsu2.net, is Windows 98, 2000, ME, or XP; a Pentium III at 933 MHz; 256 MB of RAM; 2 GB of disk; a GeForce 2 or Radeon 7500 with 32 MB; and DirectX 9.0c. That list does not describe Windows 10 or 11. Modern installs rely on the 1.2 patch and community fixes, which are compatibility notes, not a new official spec.

I copied the 2004 minimum line from PCGamingWiki and the browser line from nfsu2.org. I did not benchmark a machine.
Questions
Does a Mac have an official build?
No macOS system requirements were published for the 2004 PC game. A browser that can do WebGPU is the only path the project pages mention, and they do not certify Safari.
Is 256 MB enough on Windows 11?
That figure is the 2004 minimum. It is not a Windows 11 recommendation. No newer official minimum was found.
