Besides having the obligatory Windows XP or Vista operating system, you will need to own a dual core processor, either a 2.6 GHz Intel Pentium D or an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+. If you plan to use XP, you need just 1 GB of RAM while 2 GB are required when using Windows Vista. The video card you use needs 256 MB of video memory and comply with the requirements of DirectX 9.0 or 10.0, with processors like ATI Radeon X1600, 1650, 1950, HD 2000, 3000 or NVIDIA GeForce from the 6800/7/8/9 series. You can also choose to play Prince of Persia using an Xbox 360 controller on a PC.
