Folks,
Our memory optimizations continue, but we can currently (and easily) run the game on 32MB video cards and only 256MB of system RAM.

Thus, we're officially lowering our minimum system specs.

NOTE: "Minimum spec" means you'll need to run with lower-resolution textures (they look blurrier in the game), but the models all still look great, the terrain is good, the sky still shows, etc. In otherwords, it's not as crisp as you can do at "Recommended spec"...but it's still pretty cool looking.

ALSO NOTE: A complete list of supported video cards will be posted at a date closer to release.

Here's the specs:

Minimum Specs:
Windows� 98/2000/ME/XP
Pentium� II 1.0 Mhz or greater
256 MB RAM
Direct3D compliant video card with 32MB RAM

56k+ Internet connection

Recommended Specs:
