With FEAR 2: Project Origin ready to be released (Monolith have announced that the game will be released on February 10), it is now the right time for PC owners to see if they have a system powerful enough to run the horror FPS. I am presenting you the minimum and recommended system requirements, and you can test if your computers are strong enough later this month when the F.E.A.R. 2 demo is released.

Until then, here are the minimum system requirements to run the game:

– Memory: 1GB (1.5GB Vista)
– HDD: 12GB
– OS: Windows XP SP2/Vista SP1
– DirectX: 9.0c

But in order to fully experience the horrors in the game you’ll need the following system configuration (or better):

– CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz processor family/Athlon 64 X2 4400+ (required for MP host)
