My system is very similar to yours (same processor, HDD, graphics card) but
more memory - when i play i have to have the graphics on low quality at 1024
x 768. Playing against 4 opponents is not bad, sumtimes get slow frame rates
but play against 8 opponents and you've had it - slows down real bad. If you
have the graphics set top high you get very slow framerates -- almost
unplayable. I am pretty sure its the graphics card, as the MX models are
"cut down" versions of their titanium counterparts with slower performance
and features that are unavailable. I hope this helps!
Basically YOU CAN play with that spec but you wont get the most out of
Generals!!!!!
