With piracy you can download it somewhere else and use a memory stick.

PC system requirements are still notoriously inaccurate. There are too many variables and the wrong combination of CPU, GPU, motherboard, memory bus, OS or drivers can make or break performance of a game. Minimum (or recommended) spec doesn't always mean that playing will be enjoyable.

You can actually backup&restore local content on Steam, so you can do the "download elsewhere then copy to memory stick" thing as well.
