I want to say yes...but unsure. I have a 3-year old laptop with similar specs that can run it fine. I have only 2GB RAM - no problem. My processor's a 2.4 dual-core though. Did you try running the demo on minimum settings? I can't imagine it wouldn't work at min settings with your setup...only really huge battles would you have a problem. Honestly if I were you, I would just get it - even on minimum settings it's an absolutely superb game.

To Technical Help Section.
Lower your resolution etc set the UI scale to small in order to play it.

Even 1024 x 768 resolution and small unit sizes you still may noy be fighting battles depending dedicated graphics memory it has. Shared graphics memory means nothing the way the game is programmed.

I lowered all of the settings (This is the demo) exept the unit size because again its the demo, and you cant edit unit size on the demo.
Still lagging.
Any other suggestions? i am in a financial struggle right now and i really do not want to waste my money if i cant play it, as great as it looks.

On a side note, if i get a better prossecor would i be able to run it better? cus my uncle has a much beter processor just laying around. if i have a new processor (From 2.5-3.0 MHZ not exactly sure) with that video card do you think it would run any better?

You need a dedicated graphics card worse than a processor upgrade. Odds are you will need a new power supply to go with it.

If it's a lapto/notebook, no upgrades available.

If a desktop, depending on motherboard, size of case, etc.

Like SirRon said you need to buy a new G.Card, Processor is also a good move change it from your uncle's PC.

My advice would be to purchase an old G.card if you just want to play this game. 9800GT is more than enough imo.

With his cpu, I would not bet his motherboard has a pcie x 16 slot.

Most only have 220w psus.

AMD Sempron Processor uses a AM3 socket so i doubt that his motherboard won't have a PCI ex 16 slot.
Right on the PSU part though he has to upgrade it as well unfortunately.
