True, atm I've clocked it to 1.91 GHz.

But the 'Performance rated at 2.79' means that with that 1.86 GHz CPU Speed of yours you could play games which should have upto 2.79 GHz of Pentium Processors.
That's what it means.

But I think I've already figured it out:
It's the RAM.

Although I meet the minimum requirements I still have some programs which I can't shut down that require about 25MB of memory.
There are two: svchost.exe, explorer.exe.
Those two take up about 50 MB which magically drops the free memory to 974 Mb instead of 1024.
Counting up all neccessary processes I come to 300 MB of RAM usage.
I think THAT's why it won't run on my PC.
