Folks,
We've been making fantastic progress on optimizing our code and memory handling in the past weeks.
We are definitely going to be able to drop our minimum specifications for the game.
I originally announced high system specifications because I didn't want to go the *other* way with a late announcement. (In other words, I didn't want to announce that we had to "up" the min spec).
But I think we have good news coming for you all soon, on both the video card and system memory issues.
And no...before you even start worrying about it...we didn't sacrifice artwork to make these changes happen. We just *seriously* optimized the game.
SJ lays it out, you got the sh!t rig.. PS eats those for breakfast too...

Don't worry. If you have a beefy system with lots of horsepower and RAM, we have ways to chew up those capabilities and make the game more beautiful for you.
Like I once told an Intel rep who was bragging about how powerful their new chip was (back when the Pentium was the new thing)..."You can't build a computer that the computer game industry can't bring to its knees."
We have graphics options galore for you to play with until you find the optimal settings for your system.
