Is that too much for my PC? i Dont really understand the numbers and letters and if someone could help me thatsd be great.
Is the memory card not good enough? I only used up 22% of RAM so i dont think thats the problem.
I also have GTA San Andres and Empire Earth 2 and they run fine.
I tried to reinstall the game but it still lags pretty badly.
What seems to be the problem? Thanks guys

The problem is this dude:
Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X4500
This is not a gaming graphics card. Its just an on-board integrated graphics meant for display purposes and to play 4-5 years old games. You need atleast a decent budget Dedicated graphics card from ATi or NVIDIA to run it.
You can run Transformers 1 game in medium settings though. Enjoy!
