My system is not current as new and yet it runs Supreme Commander without performance issues while hosting two versus two games on Fields of Isis with a 500 unit population limit. Opteron 152, single core CPU 1 GB PC 3200 RAM (would prefer 2 GB) Geforce 7950GT/512MB (256 is about enough) If you want an in-depth technical look at system requirements, go to Supreme Commander's web site. There is a huge thread with users listing system specifications and corresponding performance measurements. http://forums.gaspowered.com/viewtopic.php?t=419&highlight= My SupComMark results vary between 12,000 and 16,000 using the (higher is better) patched performance test, running a single monitor at 1024x768. I haven't felt any need to use my secondary monitor yet. I do love that point-and-zoom, and miss it when doing graphics. I don't like the ETA display cluttering up my screen, but oh well. In my opinion, they should remove it and help everybody gain a few FPS.
