It might be a good idea to allow the community to know what the basic stats are on the test machines being used to develop the game - especially if you also include video driver versions.

This will allow people to tweak their systems to known working hardware/driver combinations if they happen to have similar hardware.

To some degree yes, however there may be people out there considering upgrading or getting a new computer, and upgrading with what the devs are using gives one a much better chance of having a machine with few issues running the game.

Also, right now with the old/new libraries issue, knowing what works in terms of drivers will allow testers to test more than just the known crash bugs.

Remember, not everyone is going to buy a new computer for this game, lol. Advising what the devs use will simply allow people with similar machines to adjust their machines to match driverwise.
