Sounds like a great system though. I'll keep my eye on it for Mac support in the future.

I don't justify spending money on a piece of software I'm not positive can run on my computer. That's not a statement about the cost of membership - it's a statement about my personal philosophy towards purchasing computer software.

An easy way to get an idea is to download and try rFactor (it's free to try). If you can run that well with a lot of cars on the track then I would say iRacing would be no problem. You can get started here - http://www.icer.net/Rennsim.htm

The graphics card and cpu are really important because your over all game experience will suffer if you don't have the minimum requirements. You will also need a steering wheel, the logitech G25 is a good choice. The steering wheel also specs require windows XP or vista.
I would go with what Potomac-Greg mentioned. You could pick up a PC for less then $500 that fits the requirements.

I am still hooked up on Xbox live, playing Forza 2. Though it is fun getting beat by all the 12 year olds. The sim sounds much more fair and puts everyone in the same level of racing.
The problem with the console games are that they allow the game to be played with a game pad. 99% of the racers don't have a steering wheel. The other issue is that the cars can be upgraded and tuned. If your not good and tuning a car you will get killed. Though you could force stock cars and have everyone use the same car, its very hard to get people to join your race when you restrict these things.
This sim sounds like a perfect way to have fair races and the people who join it are doing it for the same reason. I would love to join but I think I'll have to pass until I have the room needed to setup a simulation play seat and monitor. Hopefully a GT3 class comes out but that time.
Anyone know if you can have or do have a 3 monitor setup for this game?
