I recall that Oleg said there would be a "reworked" kills system (but I don't think we have details).
Dedicated physics cards won't be supported last I heard (something about the physics engine?)
Oleg recently estimated release as Q4 2009 and said system requirements would be known sometime in Q3 (see the thread "Oleg Maddox's Ready Room" at the top of the forum).
Judging from Il-2 I would choose a "good" computer from Q1 and double its speed (to ensure it works well for the first couple of expansions which will probably be more taxing on system requirements than the original release). I wouldn't be surprised if the 2014 version of SOW has a few 3rd party missions that require 10-12 ghz. Always favour ram and processor over videocard for flight sims (note: this is last paragraph is my judgment).
I hope this helps,
