Console fans don't have to concern themselves with such things as system requirements for games, but it's bread and butter to the PC crowd.

Which is a very roundabout way of saying BioWare's revealed the minimum and recommended hardware specs for the PC version of Mass Effect, which is out in June. And that's news, or so the boss tells me.

We won't beat about the bush - here's the deal:

Minimum System Requirements for Mass Effect on the PC

Operating System: Windows XP or Vista
Processor: 2.4+GHZ Intel or 2.0+GHZ AMD
Memory: 1 Gigabyte Ram (XP)/ 2 Gigabyte Ram (Vista)
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 6 series(6800GT or better)/ ATI 1300XT or better (X1550, X1600 Pro and HD2400 are below minimum system requirements)
Hard Drive Space:12 Gigabytes
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card and drivers

Recommended System Requirements for Mass Effect on the PC

haha might even be cheaper to buy an xbox and the game, i already own it and i definitely recommend it if your into the whole RPG thing.

i especially like the sheer amount of dialogue and whatever you say determines the outcome.
