ya i have bc2 myself & i run it w/ the specs that u see in my sig & it barely works. i would highly suggest that you set aside some $$ towards getting a quad core cpu, something that you wont have to worry bout upgrading for quite some years. also like cut said, ya might as well look into getting yourself a brand new computer. i saw a decent computer made by hp before christmas @ walmart for $500 (dual or quad core amd cpu cant remember, 5gb ram, 1tb hd, etc). check out some stores on monday as they will have great deals now.
