Answer 1

The only possible problem is the video... Since your computer's onboard video isn't decribed in much detail, there's a remote possibility that your nvidia chipset doesn't have hardware t&l (but cards like that are several years old and your computer seems fairly new, so I doubt it)



Your processor being an AMD 3500+ is well above the minimum requirement (performance is equivalent to a 3.5ghz Pentium 4)



While it's always recommended to have a real video card for gaming, in this instance you're probably fine. For newer games, you'll need a video upgrade and possibly more RAM.

Answer 2

Don't listen to anyone that says a budget gaming pc is impossible. That rig is 100% compatible but I'd get a slightly beefier power supply for it. 500 Watts or higher with 80 PLUS Certification.

Answer 3

You will find it challenging to play games with the nVidia GeForce 6100 Integrated Graphics - nVidia nForce 405. There is only one PCI slot available for expansion.

Answer 4

go to systemrequirementslab.com

Answer 5

As soon as I saw Acer I knew the answer was yes. You computer is over compatible to play this game. You'll have no problem.

Answer 6

the answer to this question is yes the game can be played under your computer. As you can see you have a 512MB ram and the game only needs 256MB ram. And your 3500+ which is im not so sure around 2.2 GHz which the game needs only 1.5GHz. And for the video card, you have a nVIDIA tech. which is good for games and the game only requires a SVGA type of video card, and to tell you SVGA is a low graphic card, well not as good as your nVIDIA tech. video card. So now all you have to know is if you have DirectX ver. 9.0c installed in your computer. Make sure that you look at the letter after 9.0 c because if you have a 9.0a or 9.0b then the game might not be able to work,. So if you do have a DirectX lower than 9.0c than go on microsoft webpage and download one there. Oh and to find directX on your computer, here is the file on C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 and look for dxdiag, open it and it should tell you there but is only WinXP, cause if you have Win98 or so you may have to go look under C:\Program Files\directx i believe. What game is that anyways?

Answer 7

Yes, it should be more than sufficient. I have an Athlon 3800+ and it runs games without a hitch. The 3500+ should not be much slower. And the game requirements are not very demanding.

Answer 8

Yes =)



Make sure you have DirectX installed and you have speakers and a sound card.

Answer 9

yes of course
