It might be a noob question and we're all 'noobs' at one point. :

I don't know that much of computers, but yes, game should work fine (even all maxed out). :
However, you should turn all the eye-candy things off from you're Vista. It slows down everything when you play games.

I won't use Vista with games anymore since it eats lots of resources and sucks with games in my opinion. I prefer XP more! :

But yes, game should work as I said before. :

If I'm wrong just correct me.

As scraper said, it should run perfectly. But to be sure you can always try the demo:

thanks i will try the demo and see if it works

i must say i like vista for gaming tho i felt xp was quite bad for gaming

This goes pretty off-topic but I write it anyways:

For me, on Vista: Games lag on lower graphics.
On XP: I put everything maxed out and they work lot better without any lag at all (or very very little).

For example I once downloaded Crysis demo to see how powerful my computer is.

Here is the result:

Vista: Everything at High no AA. FPS = 10-20
XP: Everything at High 8x AA FPS = 20-30

And this is not the only game. Every game that I've tried on both works smoother on my XP.

I like Vista because it's beautiful, but I play my games on XP.
