The WAR Herald was updated today with a new article detailing the minimum system requirements to run Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning. The requirements look about standard for newer games, though they actually seem a bit lower than many of the latest MMOs to hit the market. Mythic will of course be iterating on these requirements throughout the remainder of the beta test so that they can bring them down as much as possible without ruining the Warhammer experience. To find out more about the system requirements, check them out below, or head over to the Herald.

Intel(R) Extreme Graphics
Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slowly. Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly. Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but should run satisfactorily.
Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isn’t listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.
The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.
