yep you will need more RAM but even then be looking at the lower end setting's,You really should look to update your card if you have the money for it,your cpu is fine for a low/medium setting but the RAM and card are letting you down.

"Nothing hits harder than life" - Rocky Balboa

i run it pretty easily with 2 gb of ram, and a 7900, and duel core, runs smooth. at medium settings.

 

but i just bought a falcon northwest Mach V, so its gonna run even better = ) on that behemoth of a machine.

OP - You could probably run it on low, but with that video card, a Pentium D professor, and only 1gb of ram, you will probably have a low FPS even with nothing turned on.

okay-so being computer illiterate, my processor is fine but I should:

1.      get a couple 500mb sticks of RAM

2.      a New Video card….any recommendations on a good Radeon Card that I should upgrade to?

 3. So can I upgrade the processor without chaning out the motherboard, or are they linked, you think?  If Not, what kind of processor?

Thanks
