Well I won't be buying it until I win a lottery then.  1.7 ghz and lower stuff will keep plugging away with OP.  It's just eye candy anyway isn't it?

Is it just me or is the CPU rather high for such low specs for the vid and memory?

Funny enough a new computer at that specs is rather cheap, above the specs is about 500- 900 bucks.   I'm just happy i went for as future proof as i could get with my rig ;)

Pixel Shader 1.4 List of Cards!

Hello all,

With all the talk about the Pixel Shader 1.4 issue, i have found a listing for all Nvidia and ATI card that can run it.

Nivida is first and the ATI is after the Nivida!

Link to List of supported Cards for shader 1.4

I am sure if you turned down the graphics and disabled a lot of effects in options, most likely the processing requirement goes way down.. 1.8 GHz should be enough at min to moderate graphics :)

Oh i completely agree with both of you, though iam not sure about the CPU specs as it doesnt make much sense since the other two requirements are rather low for everything else.

I don't know guys, those system specs are EXTREMELY high for my newest computer.  Don't you guys think its ironic that SFC OP, a game engine built almost 8 years ago, has probably equal or better gameplay potential and yet an old P3 500 Mhz computer can still easily run the game. 

Might be a good purchase on the X-Box, but I will just stick with SFC OP for computer play.  :)

These specs are completely wrong and need to be fixed before theres a bunch of pissed off ST gamers...Min requirements are as follows although most sources agree to play online and at full graphic capabilities you may want to go a bit higher...or it will look like a ST slide show... :P

FYI: If your graphics card does not support pixel shader 1.4, the game probably will not work.

I just recently bought a new ATI1600 AGB card, but If anyone needs my old X800, they are welcome to it. I know it has Pixel Shader 2.0, not the best, but for 256MB , IT'll get the job done. It is a power hog though, so You better have some mega wattage on your system.

my 9550 suits me fine.... the bottleneck is more my CPU than my video card. :)

i think the 5 gyg hd spaces is a bit much, if whe check how much spaces we use for sfc including all the mod we add we still use less space, still its a bit much for it, i might be able to play it but still if i could rent it so i can see how the game is, but to buy it no.
