64 bit isn't an issue for me. I got my key and the download which was 
18GB and took a bit over 30 mins. The sys req in the manual is for 
minimum pc's but the ante was upped a good deal online because the sys 
reqs there are the recommended ones. 25GB of free space is recommended. 
I only have 6GB of RAM so I'll probably have to turn off AA, lower the 
resolution and some other stuff so the game won't choke until I get the 
new box

I do like how the "no-DRM" issue was handled. Anyhow, I'm looking 
forward to tomorrow when the game is unlocked.

It's good to have an "old-school" type CRPG back in the limelight.
