Request: Update system Specs

They haven't changed since Going Rogue came out.
The last official update to the System Requirements came WITH the release of Going Rogue.
From the PlayNC Store site.
From the Support site when searching for System Requirements.
In both cases, those are the same as is listed on the Going Rogue package.
You can compare that to the listed specs on the Architect Edition box. That is the same as what was listed on the City of Villains box and IIRC was what was listed on the original City of Heroes box (can't lay my hands on mine right now and can't find a link). It is possible that the original City of Heroes box had the memory listed as 256 Mb (Minimum) and 512 Mb (Recommended), but the processor and video card entries I believe are the same.
EDIT: I'm not saying that I agree that the listed Specs are accurate. I've spoken to others with a Technical background that don't believe they are accurate either. My own opinion is that, while the game may indeed run at the Minimum System Requirements, if I were forced to play with that hardware setup I would quit the game.
My own opinion is that, while the game may indeed run at the Recommended System Requirement, if I were forced to play with that hardware setup I would quit the game.
My own opinion is that while the Recommended System Requirements for Ultra Mode may actually run some features of Ultra Mode, if I were forced to play with that hardware it would be the minimum I'd play the game on and it would be WITHOUT any Ultra Mode settings enabled.
That's all my opinion and I'm entitled to express it.
You aren't required to agree with my opinion.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Oh, I know that the specs have changed, because I haven't changed anything in my PC hardware wise, and the game is running like crap. Yes, I've gone through the disabling of things, clean up of other things, etc... But I'm not even able to run Ultramode anymore and I was before I21.5.
I just was thinking with what we see in this forum, if some of the expert builders could come up with a few different specs that we could recommend out to people who want to know what type of system to get, it could help people not have as many problems.

AMD wise I would suggest a Phenom II processor as recommended and an Athlon II as minimum.
Intel wise I would suggest a Sandy Bridge/Ivy Bridge as recommended and a Core 2 Duo as minimum.
Video Cards have their own section. I have AMD cards listed here

Nvidia doesn't have a list but the old Je saist list covers the old stuff.

At some point I'll pick up another nvidia card so I can test nvidia since they do have some issues and no one ATM runs a list. I only have a GTX 260 and that card runs absurdly hot.
H: Blaster 50, Defender 50, Tank 50, Scrapper 50, Controller 50, PB 50, WS 50
V: Brute 50, Corruptor 50, MM 50, Dominator 50, Stalker 50, AW 50, AS 50
Top 4: Controller, Brute, Scrapper, Corruptor
Bottom 4: (Peacebringer) way below everything else, Mastermind, Dominator, Blaster
CoH in WQHD
I got a GTX 460 SC 1GB card and I could cook eggs on it. I heard the 600s are bit cooler. The funny thing though only CoH run the card hot.
Its been a long while since I've seen any suggested Minimum/Optimum PC specs for playing CoH, and I know they have changed since Going Rogue came out. anyone have any ideas?
