you would need to post your CPU and GPU information for anyone to say for sure, although I'd be banking on a no, judging by that the system ram is 504mb, as that would lead me to assume a onboard graphics solution which doesnt have enough memory.

Well there is dxdiag from the start icon, but the easiest way would be to download the free tool CPUZ, it will give a you a full rundown of the hardware available.
