The complete minimum specifications required are a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, DirectX 10 or 11 compatible video card with 512MB of VRAM and 15GB of hard disc space for the disc based version and 10GB for the digital version.

Battlefield 3 will be out on PC, and from October the 25th in the and 28th the and Europe.
