How well can I expect this system to play the game?

<p>Hey folks!  As my current system is dying, it is time to upgrade to a new one at long last.  What kind of performance can I expect this system to provide?  I'll be running Windows XP.</p><hr /><p>XPS 630, <a href="http://uncorrupted.freeforums.org/rolls-eyes-t204.html#" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Intel</a> Core2 processorQ9450 (2.660GHz,1333FSB) w/Quad Core <a href="http://uncorrupted.freeforums.org/rolls-eyes-t204.html#" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Technology</a> and 12MB cache 4GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz NVIDIA GEFORCE 9800GT SATA 2 RAID 0 With Dual 500GB Hard Drives <a href="http://uncorrupted.freeforums.org/rolls-eyes-t204.html#" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Network Card</a> PC Interface Killer,K1 </p><hr /><p>What do you think?  Thanks much!!!</p>

I would go with the Core 2 Duo wolfdale E8500 or E8600 instead of the quad core.

Thanks.  I can't change these specs, though...  Due to failing functionality of my current computer, this was an emergency purchase already ordered and in process of being made (Web designers don't make much money without a functional computer on-hand).  I was wondering what I can expect with the specs listed above.  Will the game be playable?  At what level?  Thanks!  <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/ed515dbff23a0ee3241dcc0a601c9ed6.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

Greetings,That computer should be able to run the game very nicely.  I have a similar setup with a dual core instead of a quad and I can run the game in extreme quality when not raiding.
