[The_Insomniac]

Here's my system properties:

Processor: AMD Turion(tm) X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-72 2.10 GHz

Memory (RAM): 4.00 GB

System type: 64-bit Operating System.

Video card: ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics

and i am running Windows Vista Home premium.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out

You should be able to run it if there is some leniency in the graphic part of the game. Maybe on low quality. If you upgrade your graphics card you should be able to run it very well. You have a nice processor speed and good RAM.

Most likely... A quick google yields results indicating that that is one of the best integrated GPUs on the market. You'd probably best not count on anything above standard levels of detail and such though, your processor is a little weak along with your graphics card.

The ATI Radeon 5450 is a 512 mb card that costs ~$50 or $60, very economical

However, I don't know if it would fit your mobo.

Sometimes it's better to buy a used or refurbished because they don't degrade quality in the same way something like a DVD. I'm no expert, but I think this is true. Would feel more confident if more people confirmed it though. Don't want to lead you to buy a card worse than your current one.
