Arright, so here's me on my 6-month-old Alienware M14X (don't hate, it was good for the price), running an i5 at 2.3 Ghz, a GT555M with 3GB texture memory and shader version something-or-other-point-zero, 6GB of ram at 667 hz, so everything is running pretty damn well. I have it open right now, and I am showing 40-60 FPS on a pause over Corvus IV with no other ships around (mind you, this is with my moderately massive fleet of ~250 points), and when unpaused... 40-60 FPS. Looks like I am good to go for future versions. Oh, almost forgot, idle shifts from 50% to 80% rather randomly, even as I type this. Screen size is 1600x900, which I now regret because I can't play BF3 without a framerate of ~5. the best thing about being a computer player is rofling at my bro who plays console with his sheet graphics on Xbox 360.
