I doubt it, your gpu is really weak, but you can maybe get smooth fps rate at the lowest settings with lowered resolution since this game is older and you have newer drivers. But i'm not 100% sure.

I dont think so. You have a good enough processor but your graphics card is the problem. You can run it on all medium settings, 1024 x 768 res.

Yes minimum requirements require you to have only 1GB of ram, and you CPU exceeds Recommended Requirements. you can go medium settings no AA current resolution and get very good FPS, you can even bump up to medium-high or high and still get good FPS, have fun! (remember no AA and you will be good) :)
