spend the same amount on a desktop and you'll have a much better machine. Fact.


definitely not denying this.

Spend $1000 building your own comp via Newegg and you'll have a much better machine than if you payed $2500 at Alienware. Fact.

I hate Alienware so much lol, and the fact that most of the people who own them are cock faces. HURR DUR I HAVE A $7500 COMPUTER DERP

owch.

lol don't get me wrong I'd customize my own desktop if only for gaming.

But I want the portability.
Not to mention a touch-screen.

I need a tablet laptop, and the best specs on a tablet laptop that costs 3000 us dollars is...

2.8 GHz
4 GB RAM
160 GB HDD

So I'm counting on that to play diablo 3, cause tablet functionality is mandatory for what I do.
Diablo 3's the only game i'm getting though lol. I'm not gonna try to play crysis or anything like that.


How well a computer plays games is almost entirely dependent on the graphics card. If you really want a tablet you would probably be better off getting a desktop for gaming and a cheaper tablet for other stuff. 2 grand would get you a decent tablet and a desktop that could easily max d3 and every game currently out.

I think the minimum system requirements will be 2GHz CPU, 2GB RAM, 128MB VRAM and the recommended system requirements will be 2GHz (dual-core) CPU, 4GB RAM, 256MB VRAM.
The RAM will be the most important component becuase Windows Vista or Windows 7 are gluttonous. If you're running Windows XP I think you can get away with 1GB RAM. Also, 128MB VRAM seems weak but if you're running Diablo III at 1024x768 resolution with graphics settings on low I think it'll be fine.

After doing a bit of research I've noticed that Diablo III doesn't require Direct X 10. Based on this information the system requirements won't be very high at all, I think my estimates will be pretty close.

Anyway, I think if you've bought a pre-assembled or custom-made computer within the last 3 years it'll be able to run Diablo III.

your gonna need like 6GB RAM and 2GB Graphics 4.0 Ghz lawl ...

prob. wont be to bad, they will want everyone to be able to play it, even those who can't afford a crazy ass gaming computer for like 6k. they will prob require xp, mac os, or higher don't worry im sure you wont have to buy a ridiculously expensive comp. =P

that would play it.

Im gonna make a half assed prediction.


2.0 Ghz processor
2 GB Ram
256MB 512MB Graphics

would probably be the recomended

1.5 Ghz Proc
1 GB Ram
128MB 256MB Graphics

would most likely be the minimum

also a DVD drive ;)


Blizzard is big on their games being able to be sold to ANYONE, i would guess they will release 3 sets of requirements, minimal, recomended, and best/max

with windows 7 needing 2gb of ram to run smooth, and it becoming more of a norm, i wouldnt be shocked to see a recomended system RAM of 2gb for d3
i wouldnt be in the least surprised to see a minimum of a 2.5ghz single core/1.6ghz+ dual core
i would bet that the graphics on the lowest settings will run on chipsets and shared graphics, so 128 is a probable minimum


best i would think a 3ghz single/2.5-2.7ghz dual, 512mb Graphics, probably 4650+/9800gs+ and 3-4 recomended for system RAM
