Sounds about right, Unfortunately I have 3GB ram, a 512mb Card but 1gb of the ram is shared with the card. I would switch it off but I don't even trust myself to go there. Plus it can be an advantage in some graphical intense games.

99% of all applications work just fine with 64-bit Vista as in 32-bit Vista. 100% of paradox programs work in Vista x64 as far as I know.
So the answer is probably yes....
For what it's worth, I've had zero problems with HOI2/DD/Arm 1.3 beta on Vista Ultimate x64. It would be nice if Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64 were officially supported as they are not that uncommon amoung the gaming community these days.
HoI2 performance is rather irrelevant to HoI3. Completely different engine and all that. A lot of the stuff the CPU had to take on in HoI2 was foisted off onto the GPU for EU3/R/HoI3 because of the switch from 2D to 3D, among other things.
Understood it is a completely new engine. I just want to make sure PI considers testing late-game speed because that *was* the real measure of whether or not the CPU mattered.
actually even MS admits that for Vista/W7 to run, 2gb is the minimum. 1gb is pointless in Vista/W7
If you worry so much over the graphical quality of the sprites slowing you down, use counters.
I'm sure I'll be able to run HOI3 with my PC.

How about OSX? As I know Paradox had some 3'rd party port their game to OSX and MAC users can get them from online store. Will there be any plan to HOI3 as well?
I would love to play HOI3 on my iMac.
I have a 2.5 years old laptop, IIRC 900 euros (under a thousand anyway), that fits the requirements .... I wouldn't say these requirements are particularly harsh on the budget...
I just hope that customers won't change their mind because of the requirments which are in fact normal.
It is better that they change their mind and don't buy the game rather than buy a game with false advertising that will be unplayable. There is an old adage in sales that 1 happy customer may tell 3 people about their experience, but that 1 unhappy customer will directly and indirectly inform 31 people about their bad experience with the company.
In the era of the internet, this is probably even more extreme. Look at the huge outcry over Empire:Total War. Lots of folks who bought the game find it unplayable due to CTD, etc, etc. I'm not going to buy the game until I check back to see how thing are going in at least 6-12 months solely because of what I've read.
That deserves a separate forum, nevermind a separate thread.
I haven't agreed with every Paradox decision over the past year or two, but they've got a long way to go before they reach the sunken depths of CA.
Fir those of us who are still a bit slow in these sort of things, how do you know if you meet these requirements? DO you have to find the specs of my specific card or is this info on my system somewhere?
Thanks, I am sure that I can run the game I just want to know how to find this for the future.

if eu3 runs then you got 2.0 shaders.
any gforce card from 5xxx and above has it.. so you got to rob a museum to get one that doesnt work. (or get an intel integrated "graphicscard" )
Johan or someone mentioned that the counters are actually sprites too and actually use more memory than do the figurines.
EU3 works very vell on my 128mb Nvidia GEforce 8400M GS on dualcore Intel 2 giga, 3 giga DDRam LAPTOP... So i hope HOI3 will do the same, even if i don't have a 256mb video card....
Oh bummer! i only have 2038 mb on vista I guess i won't be able to play
Other stuff is fine though so far
Well,, Req are fine i guess.. but lets see how this game will run in 1945 when i've started in 1936
These are very basic requirements... only a few people playing on older laptops might not be able to work with it.
Although trying to play games on a laptop anyway- you gotta expect not to get the same experience though I understand in the past only fps and rpg had very high sys requirements, now with game engines map sizes detail growing so huge even strategy games have some low requirements.
