On the subject of graphics cards, an interview with Unreal guru Tim Sweeney:

Well, we are aiming at the kind of PC that we think will be mainstream in 2006. We will also be able to scale it down. Basically DirectX 9 cards will be minimum spec, so any DirectX 9 shipping today will be capable of running our game, but probably at reduced detail. If you only have a 256 meg video card you will be running the game one step down, whereas if you have a video card with a gig of memory then you'll be able to see the game at full detail.That much memory on a graphics card within 2 years? That's frightening. Absolutely crazy.
