My 3 year old P4 2.4 with a Radeon 9600 in it plays everything but the biggest maps perfectly.

Some people have had a lot of issues with the game running on their hardware, so it is a bit hit-and-miss. It seems to be getting better with each patch release.

There is a demo out for the game. Install it and see how it runs.
