For you eager fans of Funcom's upcoming MMORPG Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, the game's official site points to an updated and rather extensive FAQ.
The combat portion of the FAQ was updated with new information regarding the game's unique combat system. In short, "This system gives you control over your attacks in real-time, and requires aiming, planning, and coordination, rather than clicking auto-attack and walk away. Players must make strategic decisions regarding how and where they stand in relation to the enemies they are fighting..."
Other portions covered include classes and feats, races, magic, the single-player experience, quests, guild, crafting, equipment and the gameworld.
Lastly, here are the official system requirements:

OS: Windows Vista/XP
Processor: 3GHz Pentium IV

Hmm, I have a single core 3.0ghz processor....but I have a good enough graphics card and 2GB of RAM. I'm sure I'll be able to play it fine. Im really excited about this game.
Tabula Rasa works on a single core albeit horrendously. I'm sure there is a reason the minimum is a single core 3GHz. The game engine is probably optimized for dual/quad core CPUs and only an afterthought was given to those still using single cores.
Frankly I am surprised that this game will still support single core processors and 1GB of RAM considering the market is considerably past that point by now. Even the 5800/9800 support is about 3 years behind the times.
P.S.
I'm thinking to play this game with today's wide screen monitors and at 60fps the specs of a machine will have to be
3.0GHz dual/quad core CPU
4GB system RAM
SLI / X2 video card setup
