your experience may not be enjoyable. both your memory and graphics card are particularly low. you should upgrade these if possible.

So you are saying that I might lag a little?

Unless you're playing at high settings you should be fine.

okay, I was just wondering if anyone else has similar specs and have lag issues

Video card is fine if you run on low specs. I recommend at least 512 ram if you want to be able and play any modern games.

The VGA has double the MINIMUM requirements for VRAM but you only meet the minimum requirements in regards to system memory. Therefore, I would say (Obviously) that the RAM, VGA, and CPU (Respectively) will be your bottlenecks for performance. And the CPU isn't an issue. I would suggest another 256MB/512MB of RAM for better settings. That will leave the video card as the main determining factor of performance. It wont play on high settings, and you can expect lag with low memory.

It depends on what you're actually talking about. A 2.8 GHz P4 is going to be a lot faster than a 2.8GHz Celeron but either will run the game. 64MB doesn't really mean a lot about the graphics card's performance - you can get anything from "64MB" integrated video and Radeon 7000s (which won't even run the game) all the way up to a GeForce 4 Ti (pretty damned nice cards).

Without knowing what OS you're running, it's hard to even say what 256MB of memory will perform like. 256MB with Windows 98 is going to be a lot more pleasant than 256MB with Windows XP. Either way, it should run, but you're always going to be happier with more memory.
