*3.2 GHz Intel Proc or equivalent
*1024 MB RAM (2048 if u r running VISTA)
*15 GB free HDD space
*Directx 10 Graphics card (Directx 9 cards will be supported but the game will lose most of its flava if it is run in Directx 9 mode ...)
*Windows Vista (with Dx10) or Windows XP (With Dx9.0c)
Thats so cheap ...
Anyway ... considering the fact that the X1900XTX can run it at 1600*1200 , hdr with maxed settings ... i'd say the min. requirements should be pretty much as follows :
CPU: A Pentium 2.4 GHz processor ,, or the Athlon equivalent and higher
Graphics: Any gpu supporting SM2.0 and above .. including FX5200 i think
RAM: 1 GB atleast ... this i can be sure of ... dynamic streaming requires even more ...
I think a pc with an Athlon64 3200+ with 1 GB of ram , along with a 6800GT should run it at pretty high settings (not uber high ofcourse) .... afterall .. the original Cryengine was highly compatible (it did run a Extreme Graphics accelerator) .... we can hope this to be higly compatible too .... scalability is surely a point of concern ...
Also .. the game is dated to release much before Vista .. and is supposed to use dx9.0c interface initially ,,, a later patch will upgrade it to dx10 after vista is officialy released ....
