With my chesse ball gf2 for the moment, they are very nice. It would be interesting to play with a better graphics card, but car comes first.

I found my notice for alpha and this just confirms what Tibs mentioned:

800 Mhz CPU
256 MB RAM
Geforce 2 Graphics Card


I think these are the most horrible requirements...If you don't mind lagging to hell and back when you land in UC or even just try to walk through SW these would be fine.

I suggest atleast 512 RAM and even that I had quite a bit of lag in SW and UC. I doulbed my ram and I have the ocassional spike but nothing that makes me do the "robot" :)
