I don't look up system reqs much so you'll have to excuse me using improper wording. All I know is what I feel will run, based on my experience with my own hardware and game playability, of course, I'm not professional like some of you, so you'll have to excuse me when I think there should be more RAM. To me, RAM solves almost all problems. So, here is the original corrected for the lingo:

I'm guessing it's going to require:
Optimal performance:
Max settings
:
a current high end dx10 video card,
6-8 GB ram
Quad core processor or i7
140GB 20-40 GBs

recommended Optimal:
4 GB ram
Dual core processor
maybe something slightly better than a 512 9800XT
140GB 20-40GBs

 

I might add that recommended will probably be far lower, but then again, I wouldn't recommend "recommended" reqs either. I have Optimal specs for Empire Total War and lots of other games and the shit crawls. Waiting like 30-45 seconds to load a battle is lame.

I'll mention that I have a rig with 4GB, a core 2 duo, a 256 9800 ATI and RAID for my games. Maybe I'm just a snob when it comes to performance?

Lol... Your predicitions are still out of the league... WAY out of the league.

This is blizzard buddy, if you known by now, they don't make their players buy high end PC's to play it, I can assure you not many people have the specs that you came up with.

That's like crysis, have you seen Diablo 3? I can ASSURE you, that you won't need 4GB-8GB ram, let alone 3.

Recommended 2, minimum 1.

Just watch, you will most likely need a 128MB card, not a 512 buddy. 

Your shooting way to high, WAYYYYY to high.

 

Oh! Edit.. And I QUOTE Jay Wilson, lead designer of Diablo 3, these are his words.

 

Jay Wilson: Currently we have no plans for specific DirectX 10 support. Right now are running a DirectX 9, and we run on a pretty broad range of systems, really fast. Overall, across-the-board Blizzard's goal is that all of our games support a broad range of systems. We don't jump up the system specs in any grand way. We have no intentions of being a high-end game, and certainly no intentions of being an exclusive DirectX 10 game at this time...We don't exactly know what the system specs are yet, but we'll try to keep them pretty low. We make a lot of decisions about what we do and do not put into our graphics, in order to keep the game running fast. One of the reasons why we talk a lot about art style, and how we focus a lot on art style, stylization of art over... when we do that it allows us to have a good looking game about falling back on technology, our technology does not have to carry us when we have such great art in the game.

Even he says they are trying to keep it low, you don't know Blizzard too well do ya? Your specs are ridiculous.
