Does not sound too bad. My 3 year old laptop has almost those exact specs, though not sure about the video card since I am not sure how my 512 MB laptop card stands up against the desktop ones listed. In any case I will be buying a new desktop for this game since it is not as fun for me playing on a laptop.
I am curious if anyone will begin upgrading based off these specs of if we should wait for something official that is released to everyone. So what are your plans?
