Well specs for the game are Minimal- - Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce 6600 or Ati Radeon X1600 (Pixel Shader 3.0) and Recommened Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce 8600 or Ati Radeon HD 2600. By the way is your computer a laptop since you have express chipset family.

is your computer a laptop since you have express chipset family.

If you are, your probably screwed due to hardware limitations on laptop. And yes, most cards, almost all cards meet the requirements.

I also suggest more ram if you can upgrade it 1GB might not be enough.

No! Its PC.


Nvidia Geforce 8600 or Ati Radeon HD 2600 and 1 GB RAM

I'm assuming your talking about 8600 GT which is a bit better than HD 2600 depending on which 8600 you get.

What is your motherboard, specially what expansion slots it has.

i say you get the ATI RADEON HD 4770 its only 99 dollars and its a brand new card,

(i have high belief you will want to play more advanced games)

AND IT SHOULD BE NO PROBLEM
