I don't understand how folks involved in the gaming world expect to be able to play new games with such low grade systems. I mean stop kidding yourselves. GPUs change how often? How often do new CPUs come out?
That doesn't mean you have to have the top of the line system but the mediocre systems you bought or built last year or the year before last are out of date and are now low end systems in comparison to what's out. Unfortunately if you have to be able to pay to play. Thats how it goes with alot of things in this world. Hate to see folks go but in the end it's not the game makers fault for this. They have a business to run and in the end they have to keep competitive. Sometimes that requires them to make certain calls that many folks can't handle.
Basically though if your still running anything under a 1gig processor you have to get with the times. Those are ancient and so are all those 32 and 64mb video cards and systems with less than 512mb of RAM. This stuff isn't new news, it's been like this for years. When DF3 came out almost 3 years ago it's minimum specs were for computers with atleast a 600mhz processor and atleast 256mb of ram and a 64mb video card. You can't really complain that they are leaving you behind if you have failed to keep your systems up to date.
