IL*2 should run on pretty much anything PC. I noted elsewhere that FB ran on an Athlon (32 bit) 1GHz from 2000ad, and on a Geforce 2 GTS with 64M of ram on it. That was a top end GF2 at the time, but it's nothing now, a PCIe card to beat it would cost less than a month's internet connection.

I also wonder if the new generation of GPUs will be able to use their computing powers in SoW as well?
I wouldn't want that. If the GPU is doing calculations, or physics, it's not doing graphics, and I like graphics, it's what I buy GPUs for. If people are prepared to fund my graphics habit by buying GPUs to make supercomputers from them, that's fine, but it's not what I want from GPUs.
