Will my new computer run this game?

MacBook Pro
2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 320m GPU 256Mb VRAM

I am fine with playing it on low settings, hopefully @ native resolution, and a playable FPS (20+ is good for me). Oh and I plan on running it under Boot Camp
(Windoze 7)

I REALLY want to play this game

So will it run?:confused:

Yes, it should do. A couple of things though:

1. Is your MBP a 13" or a 15"?

2. What size and type of hard drive does it have?
 
it has a 320m.... so erm... and it has a c2d, so ermm...

me being sherlock holmes think it is a erm.. 13 "
:p
 
No. Unless you can deal with a really low minimum FPS. Minimum FPS is the most important thing about smoothness of gameplay. Check the 320m benchmarks, and they all have super low minimum fps (often half of avg). If you are used to gaming on a good system I think you'll be disappointed.

System in sig doesn't run it that well, and that is with 192 shaders @ 650mhz and a 448bit memory bus.

Quadcore i5 @ 3.5ghz too.

This game runs systems to the ground almost as bad as crysis.
 
Im pretty sure you will be fine, played on my old Macbook Pro (the late 2008 model)

2,53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB Ram
512mb Geforce 9600M GT.

Even had it attached to a 24" monitor running 1920x1080, played on low setting and it ran smoothly.

I'm kind of worried about the memory bandwidth and minimum fps drops cause by it. Even on low I'm not so sure. It depends what you call smooth though.

Your platform literally has twice the memory bandwidth:

128-bit system
128-bit dedicated gpu
