As the computer meets the recommended System Requirements, it should be able to run the game pretty well.
I've personally been playing the game on a computer with considerably less powerful hardware.

From the looks of the specifications above, you should have no trouble running the game at high quality graphics.

It'll run fine. I run 1 eve client on an ultrabook with slightly lower spec.

I suspect, although I've not tried it, it might be possible to run 2 clients with lower res and graphics settings.

Yes it will but guess you already knew that ;)

Edit: OMG spelling

Reopen the EVE gate so we can invade Serenity. Goons can go first.

Thats more the powerful enough to run eve at max settings. You could probably get away with running 2 clients on that.

Translation:

"I have a very high powered machine and I want everyone to know about it. I am going to pretend I'm a total idiot, but be aware of computer specifications enough to post them on the Eve forums. Yay me. Boo you. I rock. Your computer sucks!"

Yes, that will run Eve WELL.

My SSD will run it better than your mechanical hard drive will. P

Uhh WOW. I cant justify spending 1500 USDs on a puter, maybe 2000 on a lappy.

I think i'll just go back to banging my rocks together after hearing that.

My Macbook Air runs EVE... Its not pretty, and its not fast...

But everyone at work loves the 'screen saver" of the space ships :)

There is no such thing as a fair fight...

If your fighting fair you have automatically put yourself at a disadvantage.
