Yes! This indicates that the March release dates are true.

Specs..
   

Dissappointed with the recommended specs.. Will a ATI X800 be able to play it at full graphics or will it still be gimped? I think they should have tailored it for a card that's been out longer. I'm tempted to wait 6 mos or so to get it so I can get a even better card than an X800. If I got an X800 right now I could at least play Morrowind maxxed out. Anyways.. Seems stupid on their part. I can wait till it's in the bargain bin then build a fast computer and play it like it's supposed to be played.

A nice triple post there!

Anyhow I'm not in a hurry for upgrading my pc. I will just wait till its released and then buy some hefty hardware with cheaper price

Mamma-mia. I might pick up another gig of RAM just to be sure...

I guess it could have been worse. Although not much worse!

Don't be afraid, I would say they are just not telling true.

Look at my specs above. Yeh, I cannot use AA, yet I could play every game till now. Currently I'm running through DS2 with 1600*1200 and all maxed out. That just proves the fact that nearly every game is playable on lower than min specs. computer with much higher than medium settings :]. They just want people to go out and pay for new hardware.

I have a Nvidia 6800, an Athlon 3500 + and 1 Gig of RAM. I like to play at 1024x768 with at least x2 AA. I am very fussy about frame rates though. Will that cut it d'you think?

Right at this moment, I'm afraid no one can say.

For what it's worth, I've got much the same setup, and am only intending to get another gig of RAM - I'm working on the assumption that the rest will be okay.

Everytime I see "The way it's meant to be played" at the begining of a some game, I always wonder what the deal behind this is about.

Is it just that NVidia (or ATI) likes games and gamers? :]
