I suppose you were wanting to be funny, or silly with that.

Minimum System Requirements:

* Windows XP/Vista
* 1GB System RAM (XP)/ 2GB System RAM (Vista)
* 2.4 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
* Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 256MB RAM
(NVIDIA 6800 "GS" or better/ ATI X850 or better)
{Added my note here, the X800 Pro & up also, and
avoid the Geforce 6800 SE, and 6800 XT}
* 4.6 GBs of free hard drive space

Recommended System Requirements:

* Windows XP/Vista
* Intel Core 2 Duo processor (or the equivalent AMD Phenom)
* 2 GB System RAM
* Direct X 9.0c compliant video card with 512MB RAM
(NVIDIA 8800 series, ATI 3800 series)
* 4.6 GBs of free hard drive space

I wasnt trying to be funny, Im just not sure that it would even play with my new computer. I've heard that it has issues with windows 7, and newer graphics cards.

It's not Windows 7, nor is it the hardware, it's the bad drivers that nVIDIA provides. There are some drivers that do work, even if they must be obtained from alternate sources, such as Omega. It runs with Windows 7 after it is patched. It runs with most of AMD's Catalyst video drivers and all of their graphics cards, brand new, or relatively "old".

Is the game worth the hassle of testing drivers to find one that actually works?  Hard to say.  nVIDIA has been facing the proverbial "Rock and Hard Place" situation for a number of years, and periodically take their eyes and attention off these gaming problems to work on a viable future in an industry no longer relying on discrete graphics cards.  Both AMD and Intel have added graphics to their CPUs, and in the latter's case, still has a ways to go.  AMD, however, is very close to covering both the low end (where the majority of the income is found), and the middle zone. 

Only the $150 and upward, especially around $250, specialty gaming cards will still be needed a couple of years from now, and not enough of those are sold to keep nVIDIA afloat, if AMD stopped making discrete cards entirely.  

(Note: Over the past summer, several Catalyst drivers haven't been as good as the ones last spring.)
