Will Game Work

How Can A Game work if it dosen't meet the system Minimum Requirements??

I went to canurunit.com to see if my computer could run a game called Lego Star Wars, and tested my hardware and I met all of the system requirements except for the video card. My video card features met all of the requirements. Here is a readout,
Video Card
Minimum: 32 MB DirectX 9 compatible Video Card with Pixel Shader Support
You Have: ATI MOBILITY RADEON XPRESS 200M FAIL:
Video Card Features - Minimum attributes of your Video Card Video RAM: Required - 32 MB , You have - 64 MB
Video Card 3D Acceleration: Required - Yes , You have - Yes
Video HW Transform & Lighting: Required - Yes , You have - Yes
Pixel Shader Ver.: Required - 1.1 , You have - 2.0

Why in the world did it show I failed!? I met all of the video card requirements even. Does that mean my card isn't supported or something? I even got and played that game and it worked fine. Is something wrong with my video chipset?

If your pc plays the game..............why worry?
Online diagnostics are'nt too clever; just enjoy the game.
