User blog:PresidentEden78/Battlefield 3 minimum PC requirements released

Looks like over this weekend, GameStop posted the minimum requirements to run Battlefield 3 on the PC. They aren't exactly official yet, according to the source, but at least we all have something to go by for those that are getting the PC version and need to upgrade.

From what it seems, the game cannot run on Windows XP as it does not support DirectX 9. Players will also need to have at minimum, a dual-core processor, up to 15 GB of free space on a hard drive, 2 GB of RAM, and a video card that supports DirectX 10 and/or 11.

It is likely that DICE has been running far better gaming computers, as the minimum requirements would likely have all of the video settings on lowest and the resolution likely 1024x768. If EA or DICE can confirm this, it will be updated to reflect any changes.
