I\'m not really sure of what the requirements are, but I have a crappy old system which runs the game. Not very well mind you. My system specs are: P2 533 mhz, 64MB PC133 RAM, 3DFX VooDoo3 3000, generic Sound Blaster compatible audio. Ok, so the game is slower than ice melting in antarctica on my comp, but it plays. So I suppose that I\'m within the system requirements, but DEFINATELY not within the requested system specifications. So I hope this was helpfull to you (although it probably isn\'t).

I Run PlaneShift Mind Me, Very Slowly On My Intel Celeron 766mhz Machine With 288Mb Ram And Windows 2000 Professional (sp3).  Currently I\'m trying to get it to work on my linux box, but am yet to do so, as I am having problems with plugins, such as igraphics3d.

at this pace you\'ll need like a 10 Ghz cpu, 2 gigs of dual channel pc5000, and a 512 ddr3 2 ghz core video card for a playable fps

Unless you bought a computer within like the past year or have upgraded your old one it either won\'t run or it will be really slow.

Not entirely true.  My roommate just bought his computer 3 months ago, and it runs slower than molassass at the north pole.  I think it\'s mroe to do with CrystalSpace3D (the 3D game engine that Planeshift uses) than planeshift itself - CrystalSpace 3D is still beta, and while it\'s an awesome 3D engine, it\'s not exactly compatable with everything yet.  Of course, I could be wrong, but 5 out of 5 CrystalSpace 3D programs I\'ve tried running on the 2 systems I have here are mega-low framerate, which is what leads me to that suspicion.

I run a P IV 2.53 with 512 PC2700 DDR RAM and a G4 MX420 64 MB on Windows XP and I get 20-40 fps outdoors and 50-70 indoors, while running Winamp in the background too (I get 5 fps better if I don\'t do that).  This isn\'t gonna run Doom 3, but it seems enough for Planeshift now.  Oh and make sure all your aliasing options and such on your video card are off people, that will kill the thing.  Also cleaning out the logfile seems to help, the thing builds up to 30 megs in a week and I don\'t know much about the game architecture but I swear that has got be hurting the memory.  Also running in full screen mode I\'d assume works better too, since you get more resources dedicated like that I\'d think.  

I know people will still continue to have problems, but luckily I can\'t sympathize, the same way I have no sympathy for noobs and shall continue my undue sarcasm and cynicism.  So there.
