Also quad core might be desirable, but it is not essential by any means. My dual core E8400 running at 3.6Ghz does just fine.. neither core gets utilised more than 60%.

You just need tons of VRAM and a well setup BIOS/PC to get smooth gameplay.
I have win 7 32-bit, which only recognizes 3,5gb of my 4gb of RAM...but I literally have no RAM left only a few minutes into the mission. Maybe that extra 500 megs is enough to tip the balance, I'm not sure.
I also think 8gb RAM is too much, but maybe 6gb is about right.

I agree about the dual cores as well...quad is optimal but a decent dual core gets the job done. Mine is a stock speed 3gig processor and it copes quite admirably with the game...never seen it loaded beyond 70%.
