We reported the supposedly official Rise of the Argonauts requirements earlier, but it turns out the actual game box has different information on it. It's not dramatically different as far as the minimums go, but the recommended spec is considerably higher.

We have updated the Game-o-Meter to reflect these requirements.
Update - for some added comedy, the README_ENG.txt shown by the installer has a third set of requirements - the recommended ones are identical to those on the box, but the minimums are even higher.

I guess if you want the definite word on these, wait for the YouGamers review and our recommendations.
