Honestly these don't seem THAT strict, unless I'm missing something. The computer I'm looking at now can dominate these reqs lol.

The computer I'm looking at can too, lol. I'm guessing the graphics card listed in these requirements is a bit low compared to the final version, everything else seems pretty accurate.

1024MB dedicated memory ftw

Yes that's equal to a 3 Year old computer roughly. The spec's will probably be the same for final version. The FFXIV Benchmark gave my system "Standard" 2766 rating and my PC is 2 years old.

Win 7 64 bit / Core 2 Quad 2.4 - G-Force 9800 GT with 4 gig mem.

Only up to date equipment I really have is 2x 160gig 10,000 RPM Raid 0 Drives.... I am never going back to a single HDD ever again.

Honestly I'm running fine in Beta, my friend complained about lag, but he's running on a laptop.

Actually his score was 2200 "[2000-2499] Slightly Low Performance"; Laptops have the issue of 5400 RPM hard drives. (Which most have for lower power usage).

But if a laptop has a Real Video Card, 8 gig memory and 7200 rpm drive then they'll be fine. Slowest part of any laptop is normally Hard Drive / Onboard Video Card.
