The game requires at least 512MB of RAM, so i dont think with game will actually run at all unless you get some extra RAM.
Your graphics Card is on the light side, it may run the game but very poorly, Emachines are not gaming rigs in any aspect unfortunately you'll be better off saving up for a gaming rig than trying to upgrade this PC.

hp, dell, alienware can be paid monthly too, you can order online and just pay like around $40 dollars a month.
It depends what part is in the computer, more costly parts will cost more per month.

My Spanish isn't very good, but I don't think that site even mentioned a graphics card.
Another one to stay away from.

I would avoid machines with Celeron processors. That computer should really be around $375 or less.

@Aus Karlos
Those recommended specs will play the game like a slide show.

**Aus_Karlos** · 06-13-2009, 08:30 PM

@Ninja Those are the specs of the back of the retail box.

Those specs sound horribly wrong. I think They just copied it from the last game they made and slapped it on there.
