Rome total war hardware help

Hello this is my first time here but a friend told me to come here to get help for my question so I am crossing my fingers hoping you people can help me. So I am gonna put down my computer information and was hoping that you people can help tell me if rome total war would run well with this computer

Processor: Intel Celeron Processor 500 MHz
Memory: 64MB SDRAM
Video: Integrated Intel 3D Graphics
Hard Drive: 15GB Ultra ATA hard drive
CD-ROM: 17X min./40X max. CD-ROM drive
Sound System: Integrated Stereo Audio
Modem:56k PCI Voice Modem
Operating System: Windows 98 Second Edition

if you need more information please tell me what you need and I will tell you but I mainly just want to know whether or not this game will work with my computer

outch, 64MB ram and on board ware....I doubt ROME will run on your machine at all.
average is 512MB ram and 3D card. soundcard wouldn't hurt much either. Basicly what i wanna tell you is that you won't be able to play any game that has come out the last years. Upgrade comes to mind

Actually forget the upgrade and get a new machine. :dennis:

Yeah, the Kamster is correct, time for a new rig

A man gave me some computer help with these requirements, are these good and how much would a computer like this cost (by the way I live in Florida, America)

it's not gonna do it. Better say what your budget is so we can tell you how to get the best out of it.
Minimum requirement means you can just run the game but on the lowest setting. You don't wanna do that to yorself, believe me.
