2.0 GHz P4 processor or equivalent
1 GB RAM
At least 6.5 GB of hard drive space with at least 1 GB additional space for custom content
128 MB Video Card with support for Pixel Shader 2.0

I'm not that good with the techinal side of computers but I've searched and discovered i have ....
Windows XP (Service Pack 3)
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.60GHz
1 GB RAM
122 GB Free Space—> 153 GB Total Space
Ati Radeon 128 MB Video Card—> Pixel Shader Support Unknown/not listed [[Radeon 9200 Series]]
