Hardware forum would be a better place for this, but no. Your computer is drastically below the minimum requirements.

I'm not totally sure how the xeon dual core stacks up but your GPU needs an upgrade, and you need about 2 more gb of ram. If the CPU needs to be upgraded then you may as well build a new system.

GPU upgrade:

4gb ram kit assuming its compatible with your mobo:

If your CPU needs an upgrade then you'll need a new mobo as well.

budget options:

But then you'll need ddr3 ram

And possibly a PSU upgrade if yours isn't at least 400w and a decent brand.

And with your CPU I'd just opt for the new system.

Sorry ill move it now and ok

[WardenWolf]

Yeah, sorry, you *at least* need a much faster video card and probably more RAM... and the CPUs (it looks like you might have a paid of single-core Xeons?) are likely going to be borderline if not too slow. Sorry

...honestly, i'm feeling a little sad for you

What ARE the System Requirements?

[mrcarlton]

(edit)Win Xp is supported, the game supports directX 9c so your fine on OS.
The requirements for the beta list directX 9, and say Vista 32-bit. So go by that.

Pretty much everything else listed is below the minimum. RAM and graphics card are your two biggest down sides. But i doubt it would be worth it to upgrade this computer. As after those are fix'd your cpu is going to be too slow, and will likely need a better mobo (ram might need one too).

But sorry to say it, you might be in trouble.

I holding my tears back. I was gonna buy the 60$ founders pack. This game was gonna bring back memorys from when i was a kid.

[WardenWolf]

I just now noticed, the "Core i3-2500" has to be a typo by the devs. It either is a different model Core i3, or an i5-2500... not sure which :/

[Hikaru]

You're looking at around $1k to get a good gaming rig that will run this.

Craigslist with the help of a friend who knows computer stuff and I'm sure you could find a rig for $400.

[mrcarlton]

PC gaming is a cruel mistress. I know how you feel.

[Torcip]

Sorry but, by the time you've upgraded everything you needed to, you'll have a new computer.

I caught that too agree they must mean an i5.

[KrispyKreme]

Is this a good set up?

[Joe Kid]

Don't feel left out. I had to up grade to. In a bad way.

[Hikaru]

Honestly, don't build if you don't know what you're doing. World of pain, and very expensive if you should, say, happen to fry your CPU or motherboard doing it wrong. Get something used that's prebuilt with a dedicated graphics card, not some onboard Intel HD 3000 junk. Dell Outlet has very low prices on their used XPS rigs, and there are coupon codes all the time. Just use yer search engine.

[Veliah Truard]

worse comes to worse, you can still play for free when the game comes out, maybe you can get by until you can upgrade.

[KrispyKreme]

Should i still buy the elite?

[Hikaru]

Not until you get a computer, lol.
