CFS3 will work on your computer but sadly not very well.  With those specs it is likely to be very slow with some stuttering, some of which will be reduced if you read and apply the advice listed in the CFS3 FAQ sticky thread at the top of the page.

Welcome to the Forums.

It will run but will not look good :
- RAM : OK though 1024Mo is required to enjoy it to the full
- CPU : good (I have the same but overclocked to 3 Ghz)
- GPU : not good. you need a DX9 128Mo card to enjoy cfs3

Well I use my 32mb Video Card thats in the motherboard, not the best, but not as bad as everyone says it is, it stutters occasionally (but only for the first few seconds) and then it's perfectly fine.

ty guys for being so helpful, these are nice forums.  Usually when I ask about a game if it will work or not -- ppl get really rude and what not!   :(

It can run cfs3 for sure but I think we could compare screenshots on my system and yours and decide what's best.

Actually everything depends on what one is expecting in eye-candy, and what one can afford of course.

My expectations are quite high so I wouldn't play cfs3 with an onboard vid card, but that's just me.

I don't mind it all that much, obviously yours will be better than mine, but I don't think graphics are all that much, CFS3 looks pretty good to me, but could be better.

 Other than that, my other games, like FS2002 (I downloaded enough stuff to make it far exceed 2004 at this point), BF: 1942 (and Desert Combat), and Civ III:Conquests work perfectly fine, only problems being with BF:1942 when I play online, but that's due to internet.

Sorry, but we can't compare photos until I get back to the states in just over a week.

There was supposed to be a smiley after the comparison sentence  ;) Don't know why it didn't work...
I was not really asking for confirmation.
