You should be able to get it to run somewhat decently on low, maybe even medium. They finally added the normal tweaks PC games have with regards to light shading, reflections, etc...

She is just trolling - all she is good for.

The other two posters were very helpful - you can always google:
"game name computer specs" to get that information - or just look at the games website if you are ever in doubt.

Actually no I'm not. Some people still use Windows 98 believe it or not, and that can cause problems.
People also use Windows NT. You're about as useful as a <noun>

Something the other two "very helpful" posters left out, was you can see the requirements on the box of a game, by either going to a store, or asking somebody at a store to show you the game.

I'm aware you posted that you're using Windows XP: SP3.

I was just defending myself from this "verbal assault":

Thank you for posting what O/S you're using. Just to let you know (although this is irrelevant), my machine's a 1.2 GHz, 1 GB RAM (x2 512 MB, DDR-2) with a 256 MB GPU in an AGP slot - when I put SP3 the day it came out on my computer, it basically fudged me over. Wouldn't run or anything (had to boot up in Safe Mode and do "some stuff" to fix it).

That's why I asked, that and sometimes people say they're running Windows, but forget to mention it's VMWare.
Like on Linux for example, people will run Ubunutu OS (Linux) and run Windows ontop of that using WINE, and sometimes it doesn't like Windows games.

EDIT: If you can't get it to run at all, try putting it on the lowest requirements possible to see if it'll run like that (eg: lowest resolution, audio, shadows, etc).
