Old estimates for historic purposes:
The final specifications hasn't been released by id Software yet, thease are according to take2.co.za. Expect ET:QW to require more RAM than what is stated here though, 512 MB for minimum & 1024 MB as recommended would probably be a better guess, since Doom 3 required 384 MB

System requirements close to Quake 4
