    Aye, you can run it well. I just talked to a guy who's running the game smoothly with a 9500GT, which is a step below your 8600GT

     @Somadude:  
    Probably medium/high, depending on the resolution.

    Medium to medium high, I would say. The graphics card isn't too high in quality but it's fine. Your memory and processor are excellent however.

    I'd say probably high on a high resolution. I personally am able to run with the game maxxed at 1920x1200 and I have a Q9300 2.5ghz quad core with a 9800GT and 4gigs of RAM. The game isn't really a big system hog.

    I've seen some benchmarks and the game seems to scale pretty well from the low end up to med/high end.
     
    All of you people should be absolutely fine to run it on max details at a decent resolution and image quality settings, as long as you don't mind dips into 20fps territory, if not 30fps.  However, getting into 60fps min territory is going to be impossible on any current setup.
     
    Basically a Athlon 64 3200 (single core, about 5-6 year old CPU) with a Radeon HD 3850 got some dips to 20fps.

    In the interest of not starting another thread, I'm wondering if these specs. will run this game in between the medium and low settings:
     
    64 bit Vista
    Intel Core Duo CPU @ 2.0 ghz
    4 gigs of ram
    Graphics card kind of blows (it's a laptop I bought for school) - Nvidia 9200M GS
     
    I'm really only worried about the video card. I'd love to play this game on the PC if I can run it slightly above the lowest settings, but maybe the 360 would be better if my PC is just too out of date. If anybody is running around these settings or knows if I could run the game well on these specs., I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks!

    @Somadude: I run mine on max settings, and you are pretty close to what I have - I have little to no framerate issues, but keep in mind I don't use anti-aliasing (no point on high resolution monitors really)
