Well no one expected Crysis type requirements really.

that is minimum i guess nobody would run the game on max out on something like on such specs

Well its the source engine so it's massively scalable.

Specs are pretty good for people i know with lower spec computers.

Might see if my mates laptop can run this when its out and try and convince him to get it.

2GB RAM has become a basic requirement now

still think it is weird how they hardly ever state GPU chips on these. What the hell has the amount of RAM got to do with it? The card I currently have installed at he moment has 512Mb ram. I built a PC for my mates Father in law the other day for browsing on the internet and the card I bought had 512Mb ram.

Difference? Mine was £200 the one I bought for the PC build - £30.

Really wtf has RAM got to do with it? They should quote some GPU's

I don't think any of the 3400 series will play it at anywhere near a decent frame rate and quality - they all have 256 or above and are DX10+.
