Game will probably run if your card supports DirectX 9 fully. I think i've heard of people running it on a Geforce 5 series successfully so you should be ok. You can get a Geforce 7 series card in an AGP flavor though if you need to upgrade without changing your system.

Sins should run on a 6200. It works on the GeForce 5200 in my laptop, but so slowly I'm glad I don't actually have to play for real on that machine! :)

But it would definitely benefit from a more powerful card. Even if you don't have a PCI-express slot upgrading to something better than a 6200 should still be possible using AGP or PCI.

I'm running the game on a 6200 right now (I have an 8800GT in my real gaming comp, but the motherboard was defective and fried itself, so I'm on my brother's old computer until Asus sends me my replacement), and my game invariably crashes. It's worst with the latest video drivers (rolling back lets me play for 5-10 minutes before my system restarts itself, as opposed to the 1-2 minutes I get with current video drivers), but not working well by any measure. I'm running a 2.8 Ghz CPU with 1 gig of RAM, so if you have a similar system you may want to wait for the demo and/or a new patch. I want to play this game so badly, but the five-minute increments of playability between reboots are driving me nuts.
