Dragon Age: Origins won’t hit retail shelves until late October, but that’s not stopping us from ogling the PC specifications for the title BioWare recently released. As you can see below, the recommended specs aren’t out of this realm: you’ll just need some hardcore disk space and a new-ish video card in order to play.
Recommended Specifications
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4Ghz Processor or equivalent
RAM: 4 GB (Vista) or 2 GB (XP)
Video: ATI 3850 512 MB or greater
NVIDIA 8800GTS 512 MB or greater
DVD ROM (Physical copy)
20 GB HD space
If you plan to roll with the PC version of the game, it’s probably best to stick with the above. You don’t want the game to bug out during a particularly
sexy or gory scene. No sense in depriving yourself of the game’s bread and butter.

Anyways, I'm glad I meet all the specs, yay!
My faithful rig. Defeated Crysis, but no fallen to Baldur's Gate-inspired boning scenes.
Your old dual core E8400 is old. Quad core/multithreaded games are the future. i7 920 with 6 GB and 4870 FTW!
Well if you're going to upgrade anything RAM is still one of the cheapest/easiest things despite the jump in costs over the last year.
This is going to be a great game, and it's nice that pretty much everybody will get a chance to play it - me, I'll be getting the PS3 version!
... I wonder if they would support mouse/keyboard option on the PS3? UT3 successfully did it and this isn't even a multiplayer game where the mouse/kb option can give an advantage.
I may do but I would just want everything else to be new too. I annoy myself sometimes
You don't have to have a console to play on your TV. I have my PC connected to a 52 inch!
Does anyone know if this will be compatible with Games for Windows Live? Don't laugh at me, I'm an achievement whore.
I really wish MS would announce a price drop on the 120GB HDs, especially with full game downloads coming in August. . .
But damn, 20 GB? I wonder if that includes the toolset.
But OH YEAH I CAN'T WAIT
HHD are cheaps nowadays, I bought a nice 320gb for under 70usd and I live in south america. So in the US for that you probably get close to 500gb. So is RAM.
PD: Prototype was supossed to work with a high CPU clock, but Im running it on great FPS count with less clock that they claim the game needs.
Clock speed is not that important anymore. A good architecture is more important.
Windows XP Minimum Specifications
OS: Windows XP with SP3
CPU: Intel Core 2 (or equivalent) running at 1.4Ghz or greater
AMD X2 (or equivalent) running at 1.8Ghz or greater
RAM: 1GB or more
Video: ATI Radeon X850 128MB or greater
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT 128MB or greater
DVD ROM (Physical copy)
20 GB HD space
Windows Vista Minimum Specifications
OS: Windows Vista with SP1
CPU: Intel Core 2 (or equivalent) running at 1.6Ghz or greater
AMD X2 (or equivalent) running at 2.2GHZ or greater
RAM: 1.5 GB or more
Video: ATI Radeon X1550 256MB or greater
NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB or greater
DVD ROM (Physical copy)
20 GB HD space
Im suspect of the 20gb HDD space, maybe making room for later content? Either that or every single texture is fucking insane, and the screenies do not make be believe that, especially if you only need 512mb video memory for recommended.
