Trick or Treat Fallout 3 System Specs

I know there is plenty of angst over Bethesda taking up the franchise but I have got to say from what I've seen trailer wise it looks very interesting and the fact that it will provide hours upon hours gameplay is a plus for me. AND there is no DRM!

System Specs as listed at Gamespy as of Today 10/9/08:

Minimum System Requirements:

Windows XP/Vista
1GB System RAM (XP)/ 2GB System RAM (Vista)
2.4 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 256MB RAM (NVIDIA 6800 or better/ATI X850 or better)


Recommended System Requirements:

Intel Core 2 Duo processor
2 GB System RAM
Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512MB RAM (NVIDIA 8800 series, ATI 3800 series)


* I have the video card and system RAM; I just hope my Athlon 64 X2 3800+ @ 2.0 GHz (socket 939) will be okay.

I'm actually surprised at the recommended specs. The game is built off the same engine as Oblivion (Gamebryo) and from the gameplay it looked a tad more refined than Oblivion. Also I'm curious if there will be a DX10 option. AFAIK there wasn't going to be DX10 in the game.

From what else I have been able to gather concerning the engine is that Bethesda has done some very significant modifications. Where I was suprised was the minimum requirements. Something tells me playing with that hardware configuration the details will definitely have to be lowered.

Then again, looking at some of the leaked footage tells me the game is just oblivion with post-apoc textures slapped on. Even the wonky animations and general disjoint look of the world was similar. It really didn't look like a graphical upgrade from any point of view.
