download a program called cpu-z (just type it into google)

When you run the exe, look at the mobo specs and see what it is called, then tell me, and I'll tell you if it works.

My machine only has 1GB of DDR Ram, single core 2ghz processor (AMD 939), and a 128mb 6600gt Nvidia graphics card and it can play COD2, Halo, Oblivion, AOE III, and im pretty sure B&W 2 so i think you will be fine. Also if any of you freaked out because of meh specs dont worry im building a new machine... i already ordered teh parts
