the funny thing is... how people say IL2 ran on really slow computers, with super low end specs... well yes, to TODAYS standards they are really low end specs, but in their day, they were standard home computers... this new SOW will have to run on what would be considered TODAYS standard home computer, not 5 years ago, not 9 years ago... (like maybe less than a 1000$ pre-made jobby from walmart type dealy) that being said... if you need to worry about specs, its only because your living in the past.
and i love to put emphasis on present tense type words

I suppose one of the problems today is that big monitors that run at high resolutions are now relatively cheap, obviously you need some serious kit to run a game maxed at high res, Im enquiring about the system spec's because I build custom gaming rigs for a living, its my own business and I have had many phone calls enquiring about rigs that will run SOW maxed out. Yes i know that we should all wait and see until after release but some people want to have everything ready on the day of release.

Hmm....if Oleg and team are interested in making lots of money then they should definitely make the game as scalable as possible since -believe it or not- the vaste majority of PC gamers are NOT sitting on high-end rigs. "We", the hardcore simmers are a very small piece of the PC gaming cake. Personally I think that the game will run ok on even modest setups given that there aren't 500 aircraft in the air at the same time and with the graphics maxed out. My 2,5 öre

He has enormous energy to make his applications the best, and that doesn't agree with fast game production to get products to the shelf like a Microsoft, EA, etc. The distributors are going to want as low minimum specs as possible. It has been a while, but as I recall reading the computers Oleg was using to develop SOW weren't top of line specs. Not to say he didn't bump the systems to accomodate better graphics. Graphics quality is a biggy with Oleg, however as you recall from IL2 the "Perfect" settings are still not playable on a lot of better systems even today. I would suspect there will be an entry level spec only, and Oleg will include the ability to really bump up the graphic quality levels. He may have several settings, i.e., perfect landscape, perfect effects, simultaneous number of objects, simulaneous number of aircraft, etc. Most don't realize the enormous amount of calculations a system has to make with increased numbers of objects. Each bullet that comes from the guns has a trajectory that has to be plotted, the hits by bullets calculated, the flight paths of all the aircraft, etc., etc. I mean an aircombat simulator with all that is going on simultaneously requires enormous mathmatical capability... and that doesn' include the massive requirements of high quality pixelated graphics. So, I think we'll be able to play the SOW with less features on lower spec machines. Yet all the programming will be included to accomodate future specifications and developments in systems software and hardware. It's taken along time for Oleg to put all this together, and you mark my words... this sim is going to blow your socks off regardless of your system specs.

I know your question was for Tree, but I'll chime in here. You or anyone else looking at a higher end Intel rig might just want to wait for the less expensive versions of the 6 core chips to come out over the next few months, hell you can get a $1000 one now. Even if SOW is "only" optimized for 4 cores, then great you got two left over for the OS and peripherals. The story is even better with AMD for those on a budget their six core chips are in the $200-$300 range and work with most existing boards! (granted their performance is not up to Intel par yet).
For my money, I'm going to hold off as long as possible, not only to wait for specs, but also for prices to come down. I'm not worried about new tech yet as I think SOW will be out before too much happens, but who knows?
