This might be a dumb question but I know little about computers and cant confirm all of this myself with this information.
Anyway, there is a game I would like to buy and before I do I want to make sure my computer will meet all the requirments. The only thing I am certain I need an upgrade at is the video card. anything else? My computer is a HP Pavillion 325c.
