Processor is your problem by the looks of those specs, and you don't say what graphics card you have but i'd hazard a guess that it's not up to it either.

The processor is alright, I'm guessing it's the video card that's messing it up.

EDIT - Yep, it's the graphics card. Integrated graphics just isn't going to cut it.

 

[Haku Mioje]

[borat_sagdiyev]
