It's no secret that Shogun 2: Total War will boast impressive graphics, especially for an RTS game; the real question is, can your PC run it? Sega recently made a post on their blog revealing minimum and recommended system specs for the game. Read on to see if your PC is up for the job.
Minimum Specs (Required for playing Total War: Shogun 2):
- 2 GHz Intel Dual Core processor / 2.6 GHz Intel Single Core processor , or AMD equivalent (with SSE2)
- 1GB RAM (XP), 2GB RAM (Vista / Windows7)

Pretty standard requirements as far as PC games go at the moment, but a bit higher than I've seen for a lot of strategy games. 20 GB is also a reasonable chunk for any game right now.
