This just in: PC requirements are bananas. Capcom recently released the minimum and maximum specs that you need to have in order to fully enjoy Street Fighter IV. They seem particularly beefy to me, mainly because I don’t believe my actual PC could rock anything nastier than Quest for Glory III. (And, hell, even that stutters.)

I’m trying to imagine a world with an IntelCore2Duo. I bet with one of those babes in-between my legs (in a rig, of course) I could totally open two tabs in Firefox. I even bet I could open Peggle and Microsoft Word at the same time.
Oh, right, Street Fighter IV. So, are guys feeling this? Do you have all the necessary junk to rock it out?
