    I've been waiting for Crysis for ages...it looks insane.

    As for PC requirements, the way the engine is setup is supposed to allow people on a very wide variety of machines to run the game. Still, you'd really want a DX10 Video Card for new effects ect. :)

    none. PC only, the consoles aren't powerful enough.

    let me rephrase what I said

    the consoles aren't powerful enough unless they downgrade the texture quality and the spend tens of thousands of ADDITIONAL hours coding because coding for both Xenon and Cell is a bitch, sure Xenon and Cell might have 5-10 the theoretical output of a highend PC's CPU, but with current programming, it's only about 1/4th as fast as that highend end PC's CPU.

    and yeh, they're lacking in the RAM department. PSe has 256mb system RAM and 256mb video RAM, both on a 128 bit busses

    to put this into perspective, my system has 4096mb RAM on a 128bit bus(albeit my system RAM is a bit slower though it's of lower latency too) and 640mb vRAM on a 384bit bus at a higher frequency and lower latency.

    and then the GPU
    RSX designed by nVidia and based off of a GeForce 7800GTX but on a more advanced manufacturing process(90nm) and acheiving higher clocks. It falls just short of the performance of a 7900GTX

    G80 - nVidia's next gen GPU, on a very advanced 80nm process and it can in some extreme cases outperform FOUR 7900s(Quad SLi vs. 8800GTX). Guess what GPU I have in my system...

    Either way, pcs will always be the elite compared to consoles not to mention pc comes out with something better every 6 months.
