yeah looks like it will take little to nothing to run the game.

RAM: 1.5gb for XP/2GB for Vista and W7, PC's using built-in graphics cards 2GB Video: ATI1800X/ Nvidia 7800/ Intel 4100, 256mb card with shader 3.0 or better. Now if you can't run that then damn, get a new PC because it would have to be about 10 years old.

A 7800GT is more like 5 years old and honestly, a five year old machine will not run this game well at all. A ten year old machine won't even start the thing.

That's not much, which is good since it means more people can play. Even my 4 year old PC is at least twice as powerful as that.

That CPU, memory and video card is pretty much exactly what my previous PC was and that is 5½ years old. My mom now has that PC so even she can play this game ^^

Just further confirmation that my old machine needs to be put out back and I need to build something new.  Not that my current machine can't run the game, but it certainly won't be running it that well.  Serves me right for just delaying the inevitable need to build a new computer.

Not surprising that the hardware needed is pretty low-end. EA/Bioware can't afford to exclude any willing participants considering the games budget estimated at something around $300 million.
