Are they trying to compete with Crysis? The minimum requirements for the forthcoming PC version of Assassin's Creed seem ridiculously high:
In order to play this game properly, your PC MUST meet or exceed these minimum requirements:

Supported OS: Windows XP / Vista (only)


Processor: Dual core processor 2.6 GHz Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+ or better recommended)


RAM: 2 GB (3 GB recommended)


Video Card: 256 MB DirectX 10.0-compliant video card or DirectX 9.0-compliant card with Shader Model 3.0 or higher (512 MB video card recommended) (see supported list)*


Sound Card: DirectX 9.0 or 10.0 compliant sound card (5.1 sound card recommended)


DirectX Version: DirectX 10.0 libraries (included on disc)


DVD-ROM: DVD-ROM dual-layer drive


Hard Drive Space: 12 GB

Since the requirements cover both XP and Vista that'll boost the RAM specs to include the
RAM that Vista gobbles up - I expect 2gb on XP (for me) will do fine.
