    Each Arma game release usually requires the absolute top of the line PC. The challenge is that ARMA is not meant to be run at 80FPS. It can be enjoyed at 24fps since its more sim than run and gun. I think the m17 and m18x will be able to run it. I have my doubts on our machines.

    Arma 2 raped all computers, it was a good benchmark when trying to play with many a detail and a bunch of AI . This arma 3 looks like it might be tougher on the graphics but better coding and such could lower down specs so probably on Medium.

    OS – Windows 7 / Vista
    CPU – Intel Core i5 or AMD Athlon Phenom X4 or faster
    GPU – Nvidia Geforce GTX 260 or ATI Radeon HD 5770, shader Model 3 and 896 MB VRAM, or faster
    RAM – 2 GB
    HDD – 15 GB free space
    DVD – Dual Layer compatible
    DirectX® – 10
    The reccomended specs are pretty high so judge by yourself.

    It seems as though even the base m14x meets those requirements.
