I don't understand why everyone is concerned if BF3 will run on their PC. It's not very demanding. It's well optimized. You can max the game out at 1080p with a GTX 460 and get a solid 30FPS. Everything looks good. You might want to add a bit of RAM (2GB more for 4GB total) now or in the future.

Its not out yet, but we can easily base it because....

"Battlefield 3 is expected to have similar system requirements as the previous Battlefield game, Bad Company 2. Battlefield 3 is powered by the Frostbite 2.0 engine, which is based on the previous Frostbite 1.5, which powered Bad Company 2. While the Frostbite 2.0 engine has a lot of new features compared to 1.5, it is also more optimized as well, which will most likely result in similar performance and Battlefield 3 system requirements for the PC"

Yeah, your RAM might bottleneck you. Just upgrade to 4GB. BF3 will run fine but probably not maxed - but if need be, you can overclock anything.
