From what I see, the required is 2.4 Ghz, but you only have 2.2 Ghz. :dunno:

That's the recommended requirements you have posted there (how would they ever get the game to run on a Mac if that were the minimum requirements). That's the specs you need to run the game with settings on high. You have to look at the minimum requirement to see if you can run the game decently. * Windows® XP/Windows Vista®/Windows® 7 (Updated with the latest Service Packs) with DirectX® 9.0c * 2.6 GHz Pentium® IV or equivalent AMD Athlon® processor * 128 MB PCIe NVIDIA® GeForce® 6600 GT or ATI Radeon® 9800 PRO video card or better * 12 GB available HD space * 1 GB RAM (1.5 GB required for Windows Vista®/Windows® 7 users) * DVD-ROM drive * Broadband Internet connection * 1024X720 minimum display resolution You have enough RAM and your CPU is good enough. Those parts of your computer will probably run the game on medium-high settings for you. But, as Zombo said, you gotta find out what kind of GPU you got to know for sure if you can run the game decently. To find out, you go from the window in your screenshot, click on device manager on the left and then click on Display adapters. Then the name of your GPU should be there.

go to start and in the search bar type: dxdiag then take a screen shot and post it here, that way I can see your exact specs.

@The Onion: the specs are unreliable, some games minimum requirements are unplayable and the recommended reqs are the real requirements.

your graphic card is some integrated graphics, this is not going to cut it.
