Well, I hear that the element of the game which really slaps the hardware around is the dynamic lighting... and if I'm not mistaken, that's a pretty CPU and GPU intensive task. So they may be serious about the CPU requirement.

The guys at id said that they wanted this game to be scary, and I think they've hit the mark with these system requirements. Think about it... these specs are the minimum system requirements, so if you meet them, you'll probably be able to run it at 800x600 max, with low-to-moderate detail. The recommended requirements haven't been officially released yet, but they say something about some "Cray-Super" computer? Anybody ever heard of that?
