Well I have NO Earthly idea about this computery stuff (lol, no, seriously). I just ask them "can it play Paradox games? Yes? Sold.". Take game, stick it in, enjoy.
I have no idea if I have a good processor (I only have 2.10 Gigaschmerz but the darned thing is new) so... yah... I greatly appreciate any help.

AMD A10 (hey that's a cool airplane) 5745M APU with Radeon HD graphics 2.10 Ghz (there seem to be two?? R7 M260 and HD 8610 G)
RAM is 12 GB
64 bit (as far as I'm concerned, changing to 64 bit has done nothing but move all my Paradox game files into some mysterious world called the (x86) folder)

Hopefully that gave you a smile or two, but sadly it's the honest truth. Help?

That pc is on a crossfire setup, 2 independent GPUS working together. the integrated on and another very close in capability, interesting stuff gotta see for yourself.
i5-3570k 3.4 GHz
MSI GTX 660 Ti PE
16GB RAM
Windows 7 64bit

Hope I can run this with multiple tiles packed densely..
I believe your experience will be smooth.
 
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.80GHz
MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II OC 2GB
8GB RAM
Windows 7 PRO 64bit

and that computer will be upgraded pretty soon i think to:

i7-4790 4GHz
R9 390x/GTX 980/970
16GB RAM
Windows 8.1/7

will my current computer handle it? :)

Im pretty sure that'll be fine.

This game looks so smooth from the videos. I really hope it will run somewhat smooth on my computer. SimCity 5 was a disaster.

My specs are:

iMac Late 2012

3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7
24 GB RAM 1600 Mhz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB
 
I'm not concerned about my specs as much as I am about the operating system. The recommended version (for Linux at least) is Ubuntu 14.10. I will be using ElementaryOS Freya (which is built off Ubuntu 14.04) Assuming my specs match the recommended I’ll be able to run the game off my OS, right?
 
Hey Hackner and CheapSushi! Thank you SOOO much for your help. I'll have to look up what this crossfire setup is (again that sounds pretty funny. "Duck! Don't get hit in the cross fire!"). I will definitely learn more about what that does (after I lovingly pet my computer for being unique :D) Neat site, too, and the comparison with yours actually really helps.

Arigato!

I believe your experience will be smooth.

I believe you'll be able to run it graphically on low and have decent frame rate with one big tile before it all starts to bog down. AMD APU's are actually pretty good relative to previous integrated GPUs and the CPU is decent enough for low level computing (web browsing, Youtube, movies, casual games, word processing, presentations type of stuff). It's not strong for gaming of course. Initially you'll do fine though. But once your city starts to get bigger and there's more going on I think your frames will drop and it'll become choppy. One big reason is that the minimum CPU speed is 3.0Ghz (not always the most important factor) but your CPU's max is 2.9 GHz (when Turboing). It's going to get pretty toasty and then throttle down to protect itself. So you might experience lag at times. And AMD IPS tends to be really weak compared to Intel (instructions per second). It's really not a bad computer though. I just mean you won't get the smoothest experience or be able to get fairly large city going on.

Here's the difference between your CPU and the recommended AMD CPU they list:

And another example here's my CPU compared to yours. Although mine isn't the best anymore but still high-end (one generation behind now). NOT something you need, just comparing for fun.
 
CPU: i5 2500k @4.4Ghz
GPU: GTX980 EVGA SC 4GB
RAM: 8Gb corsair vengeance 1600mhz
OS: Windows 7 home premium 64Bit

im going to uppgrade the amount of ram to 16Gb later this moth so im more then ready to run it on rekomended ;)
and im going to get Windows 10 then it gets out later this year

As long you can install the steam client you should be fine.

Your gpu is not supported- It could run under Linux, but we don't know which openGL version C:s supports.

CPU - AMD Phenom II X6 1055T 2.80GHz

GPU - NVIDIA GT 440 4050MB (looks like 1GB dedicated, 4GB total ? Im not sure what the distinction is there..)

RAM - 8GB

Im pretty sure that'll be fine.

It will run, your gpu supports directx 11

My specs are:

iMac Late 2012

3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7
24 GB RAM 1600 Mhz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB

Should work

Curious and scared!

Mine is:

Macbook Air 13 - early 2014

1,4 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB

We don't know if Intel's graphic card is supported. Are you sure about your I5 has only 1.4 GHz?
