This is what I have
Windows XP Minimum Specifications

Video: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT 256MB (maybe it's 512 I'm not at home but I got it from RTM maybe he remembers :))

and I have the DVD and HDD space of course

In the past BioWare has published min specs that were real, the game would run at low settings and in single player and be fine, I tended to wanted to have more power for the multiplayer co-op. I'm just wondering if that is still the case. Can I expect this to play well?

Not that I really have the budget to pick it up till January, but I'm interested for sure.
