Can Your Computer Run Diablo III?
It seems that many threads are popping up with questions about minimum computer specs and if their computer will run the Beta. In order to keep things in a single location and to help others who might also have questions, I have created this thread. Here you can confirm your computer meets the minimum specs, learn how to upgrade your computer, and ask questions about parts for a new build. Do not forget that these specs are for BETA and could change for the full release.
