Will Age of Conan make your PC explode?

We've been wondering since the dawn of time - well, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration - about the PC hardware specs that'll be required to pump Age of Conan polygons around our monitor, and they've now been confirmed.

Ready to weep or cheer? Here we go...

RAM: 1GB RAM
Video Card: Shader Model 2.0 and 128MB RAM: NVIDIA GeForce 5800 or ATI 9800

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 7950GX2 or better

If these numbers are making you sweat, head on over to ourminimum specs feature, where on the last page you'll find a handy-dandy guide to relative strengths for video cards and processors.

Age of Conan releases on PC on May 20. There's an Xbox 360 version in development too but Funcom's keeping that under wraps currently.
