Maybe it's just me, but I can't find the hardware requirements for MC 11 ?? I would need this information in the next hour...

This is from MC10 Help. It is not updated yet.
System Requirements
Hardware Requirements (minimum)
600 MHz Pentium
32 MB RAM
40 MB Free hard drive space
Sound card
Video card
Microsoft Internet Explorer I.E. 5.0 or above
Internet connection (recommended).
Optional extras:
TV Tuner card (for TV playback, recording etc.)
Soundcard with multiple outputs (for multi-zone playback)
CD Writer (Optional) installed and functional for creating CDs
Printer (optional) for printing jewel cases and CD labels
Software Requirements
Windows 98/NT/ME/2000/XP
MicroSoft Windows Media Player.
RealPlayer, QuickTime and Microsoft DirectX are required to play certain proprietary files through Media Center.
The 32 MB is the amount of free memory required. Total memory should be 256 MB or more. Things start running smoothly with 512 MB. I experienced that recently when I upgraded my 256 MB / 2.5 GHz P4 laptop to 512 MB.
Processor speed is up to you. Everything will work with 600 MHz, but usually over 1 GHz is needed for e.g. smooth hi-res video playback.
I would recommend Windows 2000 Professional or XP. Some 98/ME users have had problems with the beta version.

I've got MC11 on a better spec machine than that, and it wont support all its functions. Specific video card requirements would be very helpful, as a 32M nvidia card isnt upto it for 3D studio. I'm going to either upgrade this or get another machine some time soon, and I have really no idea what vid card is needed.
