@vedu
your spec is good but you need a graphics card in order to play
i would recommend AMD Radeon HD 5000 series graphics card or higher with your current setup

Upgrade to 64bit so you can use all of your 6GB of RAM, because it's a waste to have it installed and can't be able to use it!
And don't worry, it is recommended to use 64bit if you have 4GB+ of RAM, so don't worry about performance loss! 😉

@loggins
the game automatically patches it self through origin no need for manual patches

as l know you have a laptop
i would not advise using a laptop touchpad for gaming as it is too slow for gaming and sometimes does not work when playing games or freezes sometimes

you could try updating your mouse drivers first

i would recommend you get a gaming mouse.
i can recommend the manufacturers Roccat or Razer

btw did you solve your graphics issue?

@dvmXXX
If you really want or if you want to use 64bit only programs then go for it, but if you're on 32bit then remain with it! because with your current specs you wont get any benefits anyway other than running 64bit only apps... 😜
It wont help you with gaming performance whatsoever.... 😕
It's a matter of your likings ... you're the one to decide now that I said my opinion. 😀

No! Don't worry!
64bit needs a minimum of 4GB which you have, so you wont have any issues! 😀
Just stay at 720p in gaming and you'll be good! 😀

@dvmXXX
depends 32bit can only handle 4GB ram max. 64bit can handle the maximum ram your pc can handle and your cpu has to be 64bit too.

use this app to find out if your cpu is 64bit www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
what you are looking for when you have installed the app is if your cpu is intel then it is EMT64 and amd is amd64.

then you can do a clean install of windows 7 64bit if you own a copy
the benfit is if you have 4GB+ your computer will not be slugish during gaming or perform badly

@asepwondoo
my friend i forget to mention the budjet card names......
nvidia 96gt and Ati radeon 5670 ..both are available in market at
a same price but ati 5670 is a little bit more demanding besause
it supports DX11 with new architecture tech.
and it does not need any type of external power connector...
and in my views ati is best....Attila-13 is correct but i am worring about your pc...okk

Don't worry your PC wouldn't been destroyed... 😜

@sweetscientist
You're right, that he can't play it, but your totally wrong about the frying stuff...he won't fry his PSU neither his IGPU...
The IGPU is integrated within the CPU so it would just run very slowly, but there isn't a potential frying risk, because the CPU doesn't heat up like a GPU under load...So that isn't true!

NO NO NO.....
@asepwondoo
YOUR SYSTEM didnt handel its grapgics.....integrated graphics are not optimised for heavy graphics ..
you have to buy good quality graphics card and if you want to play on budjet graphics card then nvidia 96 gt and ati 5560 are best choice ....if you force your pc to run this game then your integrated graphics smokes out with lots of heat which results the damage of your power supply (SMPS)

@sweetscientist
Just like @dom1da said it's a cooling issue!
CPU and GPU heat up in gameplay much, but not so much!
BTW...did you clean up your system and applied thermal compound as I said in earlier comments? Or your still having the issue with all of your system uncleaned? Because if that's the case then it's no wonder that you still have them!

@sweetscientist
it sounds like a cooling issue when you play games.
your computer will get hotter when playing games but not that hot
there is a cooling issue with your computer
you need more case fans
and check that you have fitted the cpu fan properly and used thermal compound inbetween the fan and cpu.
thermal compound you can get it from http://www.primeabgb.com/ which is based in india
