The system requirements aren’t that impressive, except for the HDD space. Then again, I get the feeling that we’re only talking about the minimum requirements:
Windows XP system requirements:
2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
512 MB RAM
A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
At least 6 GB of hard drive space
Windows Vista system requirements:
2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
768 MB RAM
A 128 MB Video Card, with support for Pixel Shader 2.0
At least 6 GB of hard drive space
Needless to say, the game requires more RAM on Vista because the OS itself is more hardware-hungry. Up till now, the only eyebrow-raising requirement is the 6GB space. But do expect an update to these specs.
Spore will be release on September 7 on both PC and Mac. The Nintendo DS will also get its own simplified version of the game, dubbed Spore Creatures.
