Will this game run on my computer?

I was wandering if need for speed carbon would run on my computer here are the specs:

Graphics card: Nvidia 7600 GT

512 MB of Ram

Intel Pentium 4

2.8 Ghz

Motherboard: Abit IT7 MAXv2.0

Since i have an 8X graphics card in a 4X graphics card slot i was thinking that might slow it down. How much does it slow the computer down? I know people have been telling me 8X cards will not work in 4X slots but they do, they just might slow you down a little.

i checked the ram and ye youl be able to run it. Heres a link to the tech page if you wanna look yourself http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/driving/needforspeedcarbon/tech_info.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gssummary&tag=summary;techinfo
