The ransom or 'requirement' list for Bethesda's upcoming Fallout 3 is quite tame meaning old rigs need not quake in fear.

If you've got yourself a Pentium 4 you're basically set, though a nice dual-core will move things a lot better. You can cease plans to 'expedite' your inheritance now.

Obviously having a powerhouse PC will deliver the best and most crisp quality but basically if you can run Oblivion then you'll be okay with Fallout 3.

Windows XP/Vista
1GB System RAM (XP)/ 2GB System RAM (Vista)
2.4 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
