I've been looking around, and I've been unable to find them. Last time I checked, I believe I saw that you need DirectX9, but what about processor speed, RAM, etc?

Since every game is different, there is no set minimum for CPU speed or RAM. The more actions / code being run, the faster the CPU has to be. The more resources being loaded, the more RAM is needed.

I mean to run GameMaker, not to run the games.

To run version 7 of Game Maker, a modern PC (Pentium or higher) running Windows 2000, XP or Vista is required (Game Maker 6 will run on Win98). After installation the program uses about 10 MB disk space. The program requires at least 65000 colors (high color, 16-bit). It requires at least 800x600 screen resolution. A 3D graphics card compatible with DirectX 8.0 or higher and with at least 32 MB of video memory is required. Also a DirectX 8.0 compatible sound card is required. Make sure all graphics and sound card drivers are up to date. DirectX 8.0 or higher is required (not included).
