I think it will run it - if you have the latest drivers - but it won't run very well.

I'd be trying to find something better.

Since it's a desktop you can presumably upgrade it with a real video card.

Like crap.

The Celeron CPU in that computer is pretty crummy, too.

Do you have to have a monitor with the system or can you use one you already have?

If you have a monitor, and can deal with a refurb, the same store has http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/product/seo/102565 . at £289.99 .

Or, http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0546579420.1233198863@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccdkadeggeehflhcflgceggdhhmdgmh.0&page=Product&fm=null&sm=null&tm=null&sku=423915&category_oid=-35614
