Blizzard doesn't announce their system requirements or recommendations until shortly before a game is finished. They don't know before then, since the final stages of programming include lots of optimizations to lower the machine load and streamline the program. Their goal is to keep their games playable on reasonable systems, without sacrificing performance or graphics.
As a result, fans were left to guess and conjecture at Diablo III's system requirements for years. This page preserves those early hints and investigations, below the official information which Blizzard finally revealed in December 2011.
