yes it is to much to ask, and if you are born in 1961 you should have enough brainpower and deductive ability to figure out why. presumably if born in 61 you have come accross gaming pc's a few times in the past, and might have watched the production process of some of the better games and know a bit about the process it goes through ? if not, maybe change your nick to newbie61 and we'll start communicating to you on the level of a fuzzie grandpa who has just discovered pc's and is still using the cd tray like a cup holder.
i'll give you a hint: in the finalization process of the game engine they can obtain significant performance improvements while still adding features and eye candy (or have to remove elements, like they did a few months ago by replacing oleg's nice tree's with the less nice speed-tree's we have now in the current build they are working with).
all this is a fine balancing act in the final months of production. so if right now they give you the exact specs of the machines they are testing on (and luthier said he was running it on a mid level pc to ensure it worked for most of the midrange pc's on the market), and if this doesnt stay the EXACT same by release time, you would just moan more and have another reason to complain.

yes it is enough information to give you a ballpark answer till it goes gold (there is even a thread on this forum dedicated to the stupidity of the question)
and no, there are not 500 different levels for what right now (in dec 2010/jan 2011) might be considered a "high end gaming pc", just check the main high end gaming systems sold by the main manufacturers to get a ballpark idea what the concept means.
but i'll give you another hint on how simple the answer is, take any current high end 64 bit 4 core i7 from intel, add 8 gb of ram or more, and chose one of the top 2 gfx cards from ati or nvidia (either dual gpu on one card, or dual cards with single gpu's). that of course is for driving a single monitor at 1920 x 1200 ( if you want higher resolution or multiple monitors you'll have to add further gfx cards, and bump the cpu)
easy really, aint it ?
but you already knew the answers to this, its just that you'r bored waiting and with tree stinking the place up with his negative crap it puts you in the mood for typing nonsense. you just caught a case of tree'itis, and it aint pretty to watch the effect.
