Don’t worry, you won’t need a monster rig to play Spore. This should open the door to a lot more people than the specs we’ve seen for Crysis and Assassin’s Creed. Here’s what your computer needs to play Will Wright’s latest:
Windows XP
- 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
- 512 MB RAM
- A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
- At least 6 GB of hard drive space
Windows Vista
- 2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
- 768 MB RAM
- A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
- At least 6 GB of hard drive space
Mac OS X
- Mac OS X 10.5.3 Leopard or higher
- Intel Core Duo Processor
- 1024 MB RAM
- ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300 GT with 128 MB of Video RAM, or Intel Integrated GMA X3100
- At least 4.7GB of hard drive space for installation, plus additional space for creations.
Not bad really. All these are subject to change, but I wouldn’t expect anything major happening with these specs.

Activision sent over word today that a single player demo of Call of Duty 4 is expected this week. The demo will be released (with a full mirror download list) on CallofDuty.com later this week.
Can your PC handle the new title? Here’s the minimum specs for the game:
CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 2.4 GHz or AMD(R) Athlon(TM) 64 2800+ processor or any 1.8Ghz Dual Core Processor or better supported
RAM: 512MB RAM (768MB for Windows Vista)
Harddrive: 8GB of free hard drive space
Video card (generic): NVIDIA(R) Geforce(TM) 6600 or better or ATI(R) Radeon(R) 9800Pro or better
Those are the minimum specs. Just like other upcoming games, this requires a lot of power. I’ll be sticking with the console version. Recommended specs after the jump.

With the much anticipated launch of Crysis around the corner, November 16th, a lot of gamers have been wondering what kind of a super computer they will need in order to get in some Crytek fun. Crytek and the folks at EA aren’t just looking at whats available now, but also what they might be able to do in the future as well a couple of years from now.
Here are the minimum and recommended system requirements from Crytek and EA:

Midway and Epic today announced the minimum and recommended system requirements for the PC version of Unreal Tournament 3 along with a pair of choice screenshots. UT3 looks like it will need a hefty computer to run this bad boy, the recommended RAM is 1 Gb, whoa! After looking at the screenshots it makes sense why you will need to run a rig of epic proportions.
Minimum System Requirements
· Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista
· 2.0+ GHZ Single Core Processor
· 512 Mbytes of System RAM
· NVIDIA 6200+ or ATI Radeon 9600+ Video Card
· 8 GB of Free Hard Drive Space

EA released, and then later retracted, the minimum system requirements for the upcoming PC hit Crysis. Unless these requirements are going up, I don’t see why they would be retracted.
CPU: Intel P4 2.8Ghz or AMD equivalent
RAM: 1GB
Video Card: 6800GT (256mb) or ATI/AMD Radeon 9800 Pro (256mb)
HDD Space: 16GB
OS: Microsoft Windows
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
These really aren’t that bad. My laptop can probably run the game, but not that well. I have an ATI Radeon Mobility x1400 (256mb). We’ll see how it goes when the game ships later this year.
