Cause your computer is AMD i would say that it is barely but just making the processor cut... 1.5ghz and by plenty of HDD space u better mean more than 20GB cause otherwise you gotta be joking as this game takes 6GIG and windows likes 4GIG of free space... My PC with this is pretty similar to yours with 2.4ghz processor FX5500 graphics and 512 RAM and works fine

With a graphics card u could get a FX5500 for 100 bucks (or a 9250)(bout 60 bucks american) or cheaper if u find a good deal. or u could go for a 6600gt for $250 (150 USA money) but will prolly bottleneck with your slow processor... I would recommend the 5500 cause u are prolly looking to upgrade your PC soon if u want to play any more games anyways so save the moolah :p.

And i think that game likes 512mb Ram so dont expect it to be brilliant with that 5500 lol

TJ297 All Prices are in Auzzie Dollars =D

AMD 3800+
2 Gig RAM
Nvidia 7800GT
Thermaltake 430w PSU
Antec LAN-boy Case
Onboard Sound WOOOOT
Surprisingly not bad :p
