The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim System Requirements Revealed

I suppose there's a large audience that is interested in buying Bethesda's upcoming latest installment in The Elder Scrolls franchise, Skyrim, for PC, so it may be of interest to them that Pete Hines revealed the system requirements on his Twitter account:
Recom PC specs: Win XP/7, quad-core Intel/AMD CPU, 4GB RAM, 6GB HD, DX compat snd card, DX9 vid card w/ 1 GB. GTX 260/Radeon 4890 or higher

Min PC specs: Win XP/7/Vista (32 or 64 bit), dual core 2GB, 2GB RAM, DX9c video card w/ 512MB RAM, Internet Access for Steam activation

The Min specs get you playing,. The recommended specs let you play on High, not on Ultra. You'll want beefier rig for that.
