hello and welcome to TSF

the Geforce 9200M GS is like a Geforce 8400 GS
you could be able to run the game on low settings
to be sure run both sites
System requirements lab, (the link that N RAJ gave you) also a stronger site is

@ Niram
that site needs ActiveX controller for Internet Explorer and Java for Firefox
please make sure to allow installing what it needs, it's safe don't worry
you can also use this amazing site that its better than SRL:
