You will have a bottleneck there because your CPU, you need X2.

P.S. Make sure your mobo has a PCI-Ex slot

i do have a pci-e x16 slot...

the only reason i ask is cause on their website they say:

Minimum System Requirements

  • 1GB of system memory
  • CD-ROM drive
  • 50MB of available hard disk drive space for basic driver installation
  • Microsoft Windows XP operating system
  • PCI Express-compliant motherboard with one vacant PCI Express x16 slot
  • 450W PCI Express-compliant system power supply with a combined 12V current rating of 30A or more.

It will run very good most of the games but not at full potencial of the card because of the CPU
