Q: What are the minimum hardware recommendations for the Alpha Trial?

A: [b]RECOMMENDED[/b] WINDOWS PC SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

    OS: Windows 7 or Vista (SP1)
    Installed: Origin
    CPU: Quadcore @ 2.0 GHz or faster
    RAM: 4GB or more
    Hard Drive: 7.25 GB free disk space
    Video: 256 MB or greater
    DirectX 10 or 11 compatible card with latest drivers (AMD 11.5 or later, nVidia 275.33 or later)
    Sound: DirectX 10 or 11 compatible card
    Internet: broadband connection

Note that these do not necessarily represent the requirements for the final game.

Doesn't say too much: very low quality quad core, 4gb ram, windows 7 but no specific GFX card mention? 256mb graphics cards have been around for many years. However would guess 400 nvidia series
