Greetings,

That computer is definitely above the minimum requirements and you shouldn't have any trouble playing Everquest 2 on it.  I assume it probably has Vista on it, though, considering it's a new computer.  You may need to follow these steps after installing the game:

1. Right click on the program launch icon2. Left click on "Properties".3. In the new window that pops up click on the "Compatibility" tab.4. In the "Compatibility Mode" area check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:"5. In the drop down list make certain that "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)" is selected.6. Under "Privilege Level" make certain that the box next to "Run this program as administrator" is checked.7. Click on "Apply" then click on "Ok".8. Right click on the icon and select "Run as Administrator"

Let us know if you need any assistance getting the game working.
