If you're video card is 512mb then surely it must have a pixel shader. It is a fairly old game and 512mb indicated a fairly new graphics card. Try the demo but from the sounds of it it should be fine.

my video card is an nvidia geforce 6150se, it is a built-in video card in my motherboard.

can i see if i have a pixel shader in the dxdiag?

btw do u know a site where i can DL updates for my video card?

[Khan]

That site said your card's family supports it. Trying the demo would be the quickest was of finding out,
