Core 2 Requirement

How serious should one take the Core 2 @ 1.4Ghz processor minimum requirement? I'm running a Pentium 4 @ 3.8 Ghz. That's a pretty fast processor, but is the Core 2 required because the game uses multithreading?

If so, I'm out of luck. I can't justify building a new machine for just one game right now.

Well it only requires a single-core Core 2, not a Core 2 duo. IIRC, those chips did have hyperthreading, though, so you may be out of luck.

I'm running it on my old rig:
AMD Anthlon 3500+
3gb ram
Radeon x1950 pro

its running fine at 1280x1024, 2x AA and medium detail settings. Gets a bit slow during big battles though. I'm surprised at how well it runs. It's not the best looking game but that doesn't really matter to me.

There's no such thing.

ZOMG, this game could've run on my current PC until the upgrade. Instead I'm "stuck" with the 360 version.

AMD Athlon 3500+
2GB RAM
Radeon HD 4650

When I checked task manger, it was reporting that DA has 32 threads. I have never seen this many threads for games. The max I have seen are about 10 or so.

So in theory more cores you have the better the game should run.

Thanks for all the input. I guess I'll just have to try it and see.
