The system requirements were published in a copy of PC Gamer magazine, and thank you to CNCDEN and Command & Conquer 3 DOTCOM for providing these. I am happy to say that this should be playable for most people.
Minimum Required Specs:
Windows XP or Windows 2000
1.3 GHz Intel Pentium IV or AMD Athlon processor
256 MB RAM
Nvidia GeForce2 or equivalent video card with 32 MB RAM
DirectX 9.0b compatible sound card
4 GB available hard disk space
Required System:
Microsoft Windows XP
PC with 1.6 Ghz equivalent or higher processor
256 MB of system RAM
512 MB of system RAM for online play with 3 or more players
6 GB available hard disk space
8x speed or faster CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive (for the Collector's Edition)
64 MB GeForce3-class video card. The game only officially supports cards with ATI (Radeon 8500 or greater) and Nvidia chipsets, and the Intel GMA 900 and GMA 950 products. The GeForce 4 MX is not supported
Sound card with speakers or headphones
Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device
56.6 Kbps or better modem for 1v1 online play
Broadband connection for online play with 3 or more players
DirectX 9.0c or above.
In regards to Vista and DX10:
"As for DX10, we’ve thought about releasing a patch but in order to give players some incremental benefit but we really feel developers have to build for DX10 from the ground up." Source Discussed on our Forum
"It really is fast fun and fluid" "The multiplayer definitely does not suck!"

What I read on cncden is
Minimum: P4 1.8GHz, 512MB RAM, 8GB HD space, DX9.0c 64MB graphic card with 8X DVD ROM.
Recommended: P4 2.4GHz, 1GB RAM, 128 MB video card.
It seems totally impossible to me to run that game with a 32 MB video card. Generals didn't run with it.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

It's good practice just to double everything they put and use that as a guide. They don't do a very good job at being honest. Besides, when your video card runs out of memory it just sends everything to the paging file. Inefficient to say the least.

You're right too, but you can't say that he's wrong, because he's not. They are going to post minimum specifications just low enough that you can play the game on lowest settings with decent gameplay. This has an effect on the people with lowerend systems making them think that they can at least play the game. Then, they buy the game and come to realize that when the gameplay starts to get intense, their computer can't keep up. They bought the game, and EA scored profit.
