so as long as you have a AGP or PCIe video card with 128mbs or higher your alright to play

BF2142 will run on that machine. But don't expect to turn up all the graphics settings, coz that card steals system RAM and BF2142 is a real RAM hog. So you're probably going to have to keep the graphics on medium. Not to say it doesn't look pretty at that level...

You could always build your own PC like the rest of us do, You'll get alot better performance then that PC and you'll save alot more money!
