I am going to go out on a limb and say low is the best you can hope for I am afraid, you are barely scraping the barrel on minimum with your CPU and GPU.

It says you have 2 CPUs because the Pentium 4 chips have a feature called Hyper-Threading that allows a second virtual core, slight performance boost in some applications but no ware near as good as an actual second core, you can read more about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper-threading.

Really, with the GPU too? It said the minimum was 256MB, mine is double that, and the minimum card is a 3870, surely my card is leaps better, I mean, it's not exactly amazing by todays standards, I'd just call it a budget card, but it can run Left 4 Dead 2 on high and World of Warcraft on ultra, but I have it set to mid/high.

My CPU really does let me down on most games, but then again, on quite a few games I have, when checking SystemRequirementsLab, and the gamecase itself, my processor didn't even make the minimum, however, I can still run the games fine (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is an example)

You really think I'll only be scratching low with this, not even mid? Ouch.

your card is actually about the same as a 3870 but slightly slower. 

It all depends whether the minimum requirements they released are conservative, accurate or overly optimistic...
