I was wondering weather to buy this game (it looks awesome) but I don't know if my computer could hack it =(

i have a nvidia GeForce 7150M/nForce630M with 1.96 GB of ram. (vista)

i don't have money to throw around so i don't want to buy a game i can't play

i'm not a techno wizz so tell me if anything else contributes and i'll (try to) find it

thanks in advance ^-^

Laptop versions of these chipsets may work, but may run comparatively slowly. Standalone cards that are installed in vanilla PCI slots (not PCIe or PCIx or AGP), such as some GeForce FX variants, will perform poorly. Integrated chipsets such as the ATI Xpress and the NVIDIA TurboCache variants will have low settings selected, but should run satisfactorily.

Please note that attempting to play the game using video hardware that isn't listed above may result in reduced performance, graphical issues or cause the game to not run at all.

The NVIDIA GeForce FX series is unsupported under Vista.

Rather then copy/pasta the sys. reqs. I'll try to give a bit of personal opinion.

The video card is on the lower end, albeit not the lowest, of the spectrum so you might have to turn the settings down a bit to get it to run smoothly. I had a 7950 with 3gb of RAM and a Core 2 Duo 2.4ghz processor and with the settings on max it got a bit slow occasionally. What kind of processor do you have?

If your processor is a decent one (multi-core over 2.0ghz, or a P4 close to 3.0ghz) and you don't mind turning down your settings a bit (and even more for large-scale raids but turning off spell effects is usually all you have to do here), I think you should be able to play it pretty smoothly.
