Most likely not very well, your CPU, looks a tad wavering.

Id reccomend a Core 2 Duo, but its too late. I would also reccomend a 7200RPM hard drive.

Well, if the Radeon 200m is worse than your video card, you will be able to run it.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

It's not the CPU, or hdd you should be worrying about, it's the lack of a decent gpu.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

My CPU is 2.4Ghz and I have CPU-related issues. Plus the minimum requirements state 2.0 Ghz.

Xpress 1270? What the heck? Is this a part of the X1K line, or is it something completely different?

Yes but he has a dual core CPU, besides it didnt say 2.0 GHz or better core 2 duo, infact it said p4 class and the turion is far above a p4.

True, but still at any rate, his cpu isn't what it should be for very good preformance.
