Specifications announced. May need to upgrade my ram to 8 gig and get a quad but will wait and see how it runs first.

Oh I can't wait to get some Virtual Puntang,all the while I'm kicking ass and taking names ;)
 
I think I can run it, nice to see it specify Quad as recommended, makes me think they actually coded it to use all the cores!!!
 
Hehe my entry level PC can it. Good stuff. Dunno why every game must have the req of Crysis.
 
I though I should post this especially for those who were worried about the quad core being recommended. This is a post from one of the BW programmers clarifying how much of an impact it has. Now I am pretty sure my e8500 will be able to manage the game.

Especially concerning CPU and system memory, you guys shouldn't be worrying as much about meeting the recommended system requirements for playing this game. I run the game fine on my 2 gig vista/2.13 GHz Core 2 Duo machine at home, and I'd be suprised if someone experienced significant performance gains when running Dragon Age on a quad core CPU, compared to an otherwise identical setup with a dual core CPU.

The video card will probably affect your experience more. Even though you'll get the full game experience on the minimum required graphics cards, having a recommended or better video card will make a difference in the visual quality of the game. That said, it very much depends on what kind of gamer you are and how much attention you pay to graphics. I personally enjoyed the game just as much on my laptop playthrough using the lowest visual quality setting.
