Is a false RAM amount possible?

Comment:
I have 256MB RAM and I have a game that requires 512MB RAM minimum, or it won't run. I played another language version and 256MB works fine, so is there a way to trick the program into thinking I have 512MB RAM instead of 256MB?

You can run games on specs lower than the minimum required. Just don't expect them to ALWAYS run, or run particularly well. Most of the time they're guidelines, because anything lower will give a really crappy game experience.
If a game says something like your video card not being supported, though, always count that as not being able to play the game
