I'm not so sure you can, friend. Possibly on the lowest settings but it doesn't seem overly hopeful of even that. Very sorry.

Yeah, pretty sure you can. I can run it on high without lag at my current resolution on my rig (yours is is little bit worse than mine). If you can't, I'd be surprised.

Thats not quite true.

The system requirements are provided by the publishers and are the recommended requirements. They often over estimate the recommended requirements so that people dont get upset and start emailing if they cant run the game with everything turned on when "it clearly says that their computer meet the recommended requirements"

Hope that makes sense
