    will my comp work with the game?

    i honestly dont know if it will run smooth:
    amd athlon 64 processor 3500+
    2.16ghz
    1gb ram
    250gb hardrive
    64mb video card(its the one it came with:D )

    and thats it

    It depends on what the video card is. Most of the video cards which only have 64mb of video memory will play it, albeit with lower quality and needing lower settings. However what I'd call "smooth" and what other people would call "smooth" is not the same. (I've got a computer which even has SLI and I don't consider my game to be "smooth".) So YMMV.

    "its the ati radeon xpress200."

    That should work.

    It's interesting, however, that when you try to find that card on their site, it's not listed in either their current or discontinued products. However, if you do a search for it on their site, it gives you a list of the problems that the card can have. Most of them just say to make sure that you have the most recent Catalyst Drivers.

    The built in cards like this do tend to be bargain basement, so don't expect that you'll have the best graphics or performance out of that card. You may need to fiddle with the game performance options to get the best balance for how you like to play.
