- P4 3.2 GHz (single core) or any Dual Core processor
- 1 GB RAM (XP), 1.5 GB RAM (Vista)
- A 128MB Video Card (Shader Model 3) - Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT / ATI X1600, or equivalent
- 5.5 GB of Hard Drive space


Recommended:
- Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista SP1
- AMD Athlon 64x2 4400+ or any Intel Core 2 Duo
- 2 GB RAM (XP and Vista)

I thought it would take more space than 5.5 GB, but it is good to see some of the new games does not take 10+ GB :)

Now that's some good news! I can't agree more with this trend, publishing newer games with modest sys req, the likes of Far Cry 2, Empire: TW and this one.

Awesome! I'll be able to handle it as well. Really expected it to be much higher after looking at some of the screenshots over at gamereplays.

I guess those screenshots that were released are with slightly higher graphic setting :)
