Ok. Been reading all of the replies and I always loved games on PC and Xbox. But if i can go with PC for more 'bang for my buck' then I will. Here are my specs. Please let me know.
Specs:
OS: Windows 7
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
Graphics: MSI geForce 7800gt 256mb
RAM: 4gigs
Motherboard: Asus A8N-SLI Premium
Thanks for the time. Any info would be great!!

If you upgraded your video card you'd be in good shape, otherwise I'd say stick with the xbox.

So my Specs will then be
OS: XP
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad 3GHz
Graphics: Nvidia Geforce 9800GT
Ram 2 GB
Motherboard ASUS P5Q SE2
I do hope I'll atleast manage to have some settings on Max then.

would i do better on the 360 or on my laptop?

Somebody just needs to put up a gauge..
If you can run this game...[place game here]...
then you'll be able to run dragon age at .. [place range of settings, Low, Medium, High, here]....
Like I can run fallout 3 at full settings but I can only run Crysis on low settings on my setup .. how well will dragon age run in comparison?

Well what resolution are you going to run it at on the PC and at what settings? If you want to run it at 1280x1024 with some AA I'd say your probably good to go. But you aren't going to max it at 1920x1080. Regardless you can probably make it look better on your laptop than your 360.

Medium: Nvidia 7800, 7900, 8600, 9500, GT120; ATI 1800, 1900, 2600, 3650
Medium-high: Nvidia GT220; ATI 4650
High: Nvidia 9600, 8800GS/GTS320/GTS640; ATI 2900, 3800, 4670
Max: Nvidia 8800 (all other models), 9800, GTS250, GTX260, GTX275, GTX280, GTX285; ATI 4770, 4800, 5700, 5800
This is desktop only -- laptop GPUs may be slower. Anything older or slower than the above will be low at best.

I find it's just hard to gauge what "minimum specs" actually mean. Maximum specs means obviously that the game will run Awesome! On some games I've had the minimum and the game ran fine on medium settings .. on others I've had the minimum the game hardly ran at all.

hehe
If you can run Crysis max settings at 1900x1080; DA will run perfectly
---
on a serious note,
If you can run fallout 3 at max; you can most likely run DA at med settings with some things at high
Why?
Cause DA's graphics lie not in realism but more in rendering the details of everything lol.
The huge background during every scene, coupled with detailed fight sequences and textures on the characters/monsters themselves make it hard on gfx to run high without a significant memory back up.
Fallout 3 doesn't have that much rendering to do overall - since almost all guns fire the same way lol.
---
I am running a GTX 295 (1 GB vid ram) with 6GB RAM and Intel 920 D1 stepping --- I should be able to max the thing easily.

Thanks.. I was thinking mostly medium settings on my setup would probably be what to expect. My settings are basically minimum except two 7600gtko on sli.. and 2 gigs of ram. Ram is easy to upgrade as it's gotten so cheap in the past couple of years.. but CPU and graphics cards are still pretty pricey.

I dunno man, the cards you list as "medium" are ancient. I would be suprised if those performed well at low settings.

Please read the dev posts. They said (1) they targeted the 7800/7900/1800/1900 cards as the "medium" hardware, and (2) they specifically ran the game fluidly on medium with a 7800GT (256mb) and 4400+x2.Craig McDermott wrote...

Basically the only people left out in the cold are folks who never had gamer cards in the first place. Well, that and the old old 7600GT people, but I think they've largely moved on.

Well there better be a hell of a difference between medium and high, because games that run fine on a 7800/X1800 look horrible by today's standards.

Anti-aliasing. It smooths out jagged edges on the screen.

We've updated our recommended system, main change is that we're no longer recommending a quad core CPU. The game should perform just as well on a dual core CPU as it would on an equivalent quad core, even on the highest detail settings.
Full recommended specs:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz Processor or equivalent
AMD Phenom II X2 Dual-Core 2.7 GHz or greater
RAM: 2 GB (XP) or 3 GB (Windows Vista/Windows 7)
Video: ATI 3850 512 MB or greater
NVIDIA 8800GTS 512 MB or greater
DVD ROM (Physical copy)
20 GB HD space
Minimum requirements stay as they were before.
As a reminder, recommended specs should run you the game at the highest quality setting available, and at relatively high resolutions. If you meet or exceed the video card primarily, and the CPU isn't considerably lagging behind, you will get all the graphics details the game has to offer.

okay but even if i dont have that, i would do okay on medium settings? sorry for all the questions, dont know much about computers. i usually play games that can be played on your everyday computer so my spec hasnt been a concern for me until now.

They now specify single cores for both Intel and AMD.

Yeah you'll be fine. After reading that dev's post I think you'll be able to run medium settings easily.

So am I safe to assume having an X64 Dual at 3ghz will be able to offset having only an 8800 with 320MB rather than 512?

Your processor won't offset a deficit of video memory. It doesn't really matter though since you should be able to run the game fine with that card.
