Alright, my rig isn't the hottest beast in town, but I think an AMD 64 x2 with 3 Gigs of Ram and a GeForce 9600 should be more than enough to run Elemental on 1280x1024 (default settings). Drivers are recent too.

Interestingly, in the first couple minutes the game runs silky smooth, but gets choppy real quick. It doesn't matter if I do a 4-on-4 tactical battle or if my champion party walks through dense forests, the game gets all laggy, key inputs don't register and it takes between one to three seconds before the screen edge scroll kicks in. Animations fluctuate between fully played and not played at all (units "warp" between tiles). Seriously, this feels more like an early beta release than a retail product.
