    A DX6 compatible D3D capable video card is required. The minimum system specs haven't been divulged but if I were to take a shot in the dark I would say an AthlonXP 2000 or P4 2.2GHz system with a Radeon 9500pro could get the job done reasonably

    Translation: "yeah man, since I didn't get to actually play the game, I have no idea about it, but if I name pretty much near the top end of the hardware spectrum I bet that'll work for it. Go buy that."

    but will probably require a powerful computer.

    Gosh, I hope powerful computers become available.

    I might be overly-optimistic, but hopefully this will spur advances in microprocessor technology, which has been so stillborn and stagnant for the last ..... um ..... few days.

    What, you mean OTHER than Doom 3?? Or for that matter - Deus Ex 2, GTA: Vice City et al...
