Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 2.7GHz (7750 model)
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 4670 512 MB
RAM: 4 GB of 1066
Motherboard: M3N78 Pro

Thats the important stuff, thanks alot to whoever gives me an answer!

Just wait for the requirements.. if your system doesn't meet them.. then you probably have to upgrade your computer (which at that time is the right thing to do since 1-2 years from now it will be a lot cheaper)

I could run the demo at high settings without the FPS dropping below 20. Im guessing this is good enough?

That's my guess. Just a guess, though.
20fps isn't that great but Sacred 2 doesn't run very well to begin with.
The other poster said to wait until you get the game to upgrade, which doesn't make sense to me. The only thing I'd really change around at all is maybe a beefier graphics card at some point in the future. You should be good for a while.

Didn't they say something about that they are trying to make the game work with broad range of computers? If I recall correctly, they said you'd be able to play the game with today's top computers no problem.

Only thing I recalled is SC2 being a decent guideline for the time being. I bet today's high-end computers run SC2 with ease. Mid-range is where the market is, so that's what they aim for.

Hopefully I can run it with my current comp, but when it comes out if I need to upgrade my videocard then I can do so.

You won't have a problem. I'm sure the requirements will be lower than that.

You're computer will be able to run it fine, just not on max settings. Well you could run it on max, but you'll get low framerates like around 30 and under, particularly in big fights. This is all speculation, the specs for the computers at the Blizzcon demos were said to have been insane, and videos of it were uploaded on youtube which is against Blizzards ruling. But there are videos of people playing the game on there.

If your computer is 3 years old or more, and if it could run any game at the time you bought it, then you're fine. An 8800 could run this game quite decently. You don't have to play the game to know what kind of computer it's going to take, just by looking at it, it seems like a glorified version of Baldur's Gate. Except a lot better.

Hey guys, I am looking to buy a new computer for Diablo 3 playing--does anyone have a good deal/suggestion for what to get? I know someone mentioned some kind of deal on Intel's website but he hasn't gotten back to me even though I messaged him.

instead of AMD and ATi switch to Intel and Nvidia(maybe intel core i7 and Nvidia 280gtx)

That would be going from a dual core to a new-gen quad core. Those boards require high PSU wattage and DDR3 RAM. It's not cheap.

Re: Will my computer be able to run Diablo 3?

no dude you need a brand new computer with a quad core at least 3gh so you might have to overclock and a graphics card that will support direct x10

... but seriously about any computer will be able to run diablo 3 they said they are not trying to make a game for high end computers they want as much people to play this as they can

There's a difference being able to run a program, and enjoying the way a program is ran. We'll see when SC2 beta is out since they are similar in resources.

I would reason that speculations that are more in detail, about what will be needed to run diablo 3 is quite futile at the moment.
Patience :)

Well, it's generally assumed that you'll need at least a low-end dual core machine to run it semi-decently.
It's not as much guess-work as it is simply knowing what the game uses and how those functions use resources, and comparing it to similar games.
