CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 or higher / AMD Phenom II X2 or higher
CPU Speed:Info
RAM:4 GB
OS:Windows XP
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 8600 series or higher / AMD or ATI 4850 series or higher
Sound Card:Yes

And my computer specs are:

1. I know that I have to get a new graphics card so I went to amazon and i found this one and wanted to know if it was compatible with my computer:

2. Also I wanted to know what does PCI mean?

3. And Lastly(finally haha), It says I need a sound card I do now know if I have one and if I do how do I check?

Sorry for the lengthy post, thanks for your time and responses.

1. you do need a card but getting that will get you low setting 20 fps (if your lucky) get this instead Link you can run the game (and others) at nice settings and very playable framerates 45-60 fps
2. pci in a simplified expression is attachments for a gun barrel upgrade and higher capacity magazines to make it run faster and more efficently in a specified field it is what connects graphics cards pci ssds and sound cards
3. you do not need a sound card if you can play sound through your tv/speaker through your computer alread
