Left 4 Dead System Requirements Revised

The system requirements for Valve's upcoming zombie shooter Left 4 Dead have been updated, offering owners of older video cards hope that the game will run well on their computer.

Instead of the previously announced 256MB video card requirement, the new set of specifications only asks for a 128MB card.

Here's the full rundown:

OS: Windows Vista, Vista 64, XP,

CPU: 3.0GHz P4, Dual Core 2.0 or AMD64X2 (or higher)

RAM: 1 GB for XP / 2 GB for Vista

Disc Drive: DVD-ROM Drive

Hard Drive: At least 7.5 GB of free space

Video: DirectX 9 compatible video card (Video card must be 128 MB or more and should be a DirectX 9 compatible with support for pixel shader 2.0)

Sound: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card

As usual, those of you running Vista should skew your expectations slightly higher than the above minimum for a smooth gaming experience.

Left 4 Dead hits the PC and Xbox 360 platforms on November 18.
