I found this additional information:
Requires 2.5 GB hdd space

Supported video card families:
ATI Radeon 7200/7500, 8500/9000/9200, 9500/9600/9700/9800, X300/X500/X700/X800/X850, X1K
NVIDIA Geforce 256-family, Geforce 2/3/4, GF FX, GF6, GF7

But I don't think that you can really play this game with video cards lower than Radeon 9500/GeForce FX
Perhepas even this is too optimistic.

These are just like Dungeon Seige 2 and Rise of Nations Min. Specs -which i actually run on lan games alot using no hardware video at all , lol. One of the Lan pcs has an on-board 8mb video and runs smoother then Battlefield 2 on my $5000 pc. lol. Min specs are a broad policy to what can run smoothly , but I guess well see when the demo is out.
