Sound Card: DirectX 9.0 or 10.0 compliant sound card

DirectX Version: DirectX 10.


I have a
CPU: Intel Pentium E2200 Allendale 2.2GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor

Short answer: yes you can. The 2.6Ghz requirement is for a single-core processor I'd think.

Your setup should be able to run the game just fine.

Good luck

The 2.6 GHz requirement is for the old core technology. The E2200 is a faster processor than a 2.6 GHz Pentium-D.
