I would put it at 7800gtx level of performance. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-cards,1805-6.html :)
Tease.

You're probably running AGP which is the old standard. So your selection of graphics cards would be a little limited until you upgraded your pc. Now if you want to upgrade on the REAL cheap, look at the build at tomshardware for $500 - new everything, so you could sell your system or keep it as an extra.
Tease.

if your really curiou, visit here:
download the freeware known as CPU-Z. It tells you information about your main components including you mobo.
Those are some pretty low specs. The only console game I thought had stupid specs was Assassins Creed. And other than Crysis no PC games have had crazy specs. I will totally get Mass effect when it comes out on PC.
You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

Assassin's Creed specs really aren't that high either.
This may come as a shock to some people, but the hardware difference between PCs and consoles is still quite large.

Well the goal isn't to know the exact model of your motherboard but to figure out what memory standard it uses. Your CPU socket type can help narrow this down, as well as the age of the CPU in general.
As for CPU-Z it is one of the better options for figuring it out through software but again I want to caution you that these things can have viruses. If you make sure you get it from a trusted site you should be fine...assuming your trust is well founded.

Also, I wouldn't point to ports from the 360 when talking about high or low PC requirements...Assassin's Creed is pretty high I'd say, because Ubisoft sucks at porting to the PC.
Games made ground up for the PC are the best to use for requirement arguments...though Mass Effect does look pretty reasonable here.
LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
I quick thought on Mass Effect PC, does anyone know if it will come with the downloadable content that the 360 saw?
@cwbys21,
Yes.
Mass Effect PC's Free Content
Bring Down the Sky to be available at no cost.

If Nintendo is successful at the moment, it’s because they are good, and I cannot blame them for that. What we should do is try to be just as good.----Laurent Benadiba
