    Videocard is outdated you should be safe to run at around the performance levels maybe balanced not sure...Getting another gig of ram and possibly upgrading to a 7600GT Depending if your motherboard is AGP or X16 wich judging by he processor you have an AGP motherboard...I would look into another stick of 1g ram and a better videocard of on budget,,But if you cant do both go with the stick of ram this is all my opinion.

    The Dwarf is right......

    RAM is your friend and you need more of it. It will make all the diference in the world when playing this game or any other.

    Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and hatred for every kind of imposture.

    You will do fine. I tested Vanguard on both my computers, and it runs fine. One of the computers has an AGP Nvidia Geoforce 6200 256meg video card. It ran at 15 to 20 fps on high performance(2nd lowest) without any ini tweaks.
