Spilling the beans tonight, Electronic Arts has announced some official system requirements for the upcoming Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 beta. Obviously these could change a little before the game launches this October, but they should give us a good idea of what to expect. Here's the scoop:

• OS: Windows XP / Vista (32-Bit)
• Processor: XP: 2.0 GHz (Intel Pentium 4; AMD Athlon 2000+; Multiple Cores) / Vista: 2.2 GHz (Intel Pentium 4/AMD Athlon 2200+/Multiple Cores)
• Memory: XP/Vista: 1 GB
• Hard Drive: Media: 6.0 GB / EA Link: 12.0 GB
• DVD Drive: 8 SPEED
• Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6800, ATI Radeon X1800 or higher end DirectX 9.0c compatible gfx card
• Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy cards require a Intel P4 2.6 GHz or similar under Vista, Yamaha Xwave-512 not supported)
• Online Multiplayer: 512 Kbps or faster; 2-8 Players
• Input: Keyboard, Mouse

Sounds like you won't need a beast to run the game. Great news! :D

	IeatNvidiots 2008-07-29 #1 Not to shabby, so this means it has at least dual core support? which should be good news for a rts.
	Masterchief John152 2008-07-30 #2 It doesnt need a high end computer to run? Is great for me, it can run with my AMD Athlon 64 3000+! Thats cool!!!
	Unregistered 2008-07-31 #3 So xp and vista both need 1gb ram?
	Unregistered 2008-10-21 #4 i have xp on two computers and one is 960 ram and one 99 will the game still work or no
	Unregistered 2008-10-22 #5 There was me looking thinkin i needed to upgrade again. Yipeeee!
	Unregistered 2008-10-24 #6 i have a NVIDIA GeForce 6150 GO, which actually has a higher clock speed than the 6800 and the same amount of video memory think it'll work.
	Unregistered 2008-11-05 #7 it doesn't work! after starting the a level everything is pink and blue and a lot of black. I tried to run it on a vista(can also be the trouble) laptop
	Jarnis 2008-11-05 #8 Might be due to drivers. Either way, 6800 is far better than 6150 (which is the integrated version of GeForce 6200. Even if you could get it to run somehow, it would run veeeery slow.
