Will this run?

I'm computer illiterate. I read the faq and sounds like this game is pretty strict with how good your computer is...

Initial info.... 1 Gig of RAM and Dell XPS DXPO51 INTEL PENTIUM 4CPU 3.20GHz

Video Card: http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/4623/untitledcm6.jpg

How do I update Ram and Drivers/Video Card?

Do I really have to open up my PC to put it in their?

I don't mind running this on low settings also.

(I have 55GB space on my harddrive and i have a broadband internet connection)

Er, it doesn't say anything about your card. As an XPS, it should have a card of some kind.

That's all it said when I went their. I'm honestly not sure if I have a card...I've played WoW perfectly in the past though.

I'm willing to upgrade as long as I MYSELF dont have to go in my computer, i am sure it will be destroyed right as i open it up...

I'm sure that your XPS will run the game. I don't know how well (not enough info).

Changing out a video card really isn't very hard, but you're probably best served by playing then deciding if you need something more.

One more thing -

After you try it, if you're not happy with the performance, try some of the .ini tweaks that folks have posted. They can make a big difference (and you don't have to open up your computer).

Ok cool, I don't know what .ini is also. I suppose they'd be in a sticky?

Well, sort of. I'll make one, I just have to find the time to sit down (my Vanguard box is still sitting on my desk, uninstalled. Gah. Work.).
