Ouch @ the minimum Vista specs. My ~2 year old laptop is well below the minimum specs...Even my ~$2000 Dell XPS from last year doesn't have the recommended specs. Guess I have to stick to console.

From one of the Bioware programmers:

"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."

 

So yeah, PC version is the way to go.

That's a direct quote of programmer Andreas Papathanasis from Bioware's Dragon Age forums.
