Assassin's Creed PC requirements rumored
Altair's arrival on the Xbox 360 and PS3 sparked mixed feelings but since sales talk the PC version is eagerly-awaited by many. With the extra development time Ubi should be able to tweak the game just right but, as the recent rumors regarding its system requirements show, those tweaks weren't to boost performance. The (rumored) requirements are:

Minimum

- Windows XP or Vista
- 2 GB RAM
- Dual core processor (Intel Pentium D or better)
- 256MB Direct3D 10 compatible video card, or Direct3D 9 card compatible with Shader Model 3.0 or higher
- 16 GB free hard disk space
- Vista compatible sound card
- Keyboard, Mouse
- Microsoft Xbox 360 Controller (optional)

Recommended

- Intel Pentium Core 2 Duo, or better processor
- 3 GB System RAM
- ATI HD2900 series, Nvidia GeForce 8800 series, or better video card
- 5.1 sound card
- Microsoft Xbox 360 controller

Apart from the fact that we'll need a new hard drive Assassin's Creed looks like it wants to compete with Crysis and something tells us, it won't look as good. Time to get a 40GB PS3?
