System requirements for Beta?

[Thecla]

Hi,

I think you missed the point.  The beta is being distributed strictly over the net.  Thus no CD or DVD involved at all.  Thus no requirement for a CD or DVD player, 16X or otherwise.

If they gave that little thought to that one line, why assume the rest is any more meaningful.

Actually, according to the EQ2 website ( http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/boa...76514&jump=true ):

We are not releasing information regarding how the Beta will be disseminated (CD or download) or the file size, as this has not yet been decided

so the CD/DVD specs could be relevant to the EQ2 beta. (Check your facts, don't assume, unless there's something else I missed. ;) )

I'm a little mixed about the issue of low vs. high system specs -- Bliz has always minimized the system requirements, which is good in principle, but IMO D2 with its horribly unresolved and mushy graphics would have been much better off with somewhat higher video requirements from the start.
